GRAS Releases New Production Line Measurement Microphone with EQset Technology

GRAS Sound & Vibration, announced the new GRAS EQ 40PM-1 microphone. This new miniature microphone joins the already successful family of GRAS measurement microphones with EQset technology, lowering the cost of precision in production line acoustic measurements. GRAS EQset technology essentially guarantees fixed sensitivity and a flat response curve across all frequencies, out of the box, vastly reducing the risk of measurement errors. The GRAS EQ 40PM-1 with EQset is an upgraded version of the EQ 40PM, the first in the EQset line.

Warwick Acoustics Car Audio Transducers Help Eliminate Rare Earth Elements Usage

Warwick Acoustics is working with a number of notable car manufacturers to support the elimination of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) from their vehicles by promoting the use of its ‘zero-REE’ Electroacoustic panels. As high-profile car manufacturers and OEMs are aiming to eliminate REEs in their vehicles, the UK-based audio company says that elements commonly used in audio systems, such as neodymium and dysprosium, typically make up to 30% of REE content still remaining in new-generation electric vehicles.
