NTi Audio XL3 Firmware Update Improves Building Acoustics Measurements

NTi Audio has expanded the possibilities of its XL3 handheld acoustic analyzer and sound level meter even further. The new XL3 firmware V1.42 simplifies sound insulation measurements with an updated, intuitive interface. At the same time, NTi Audio launched new microphone weather protection models WP40-90 and WP62-90, offering enhanced features for even more reliable measurements, and replacing their proven predecessors.

Norsonic unveiled a follow-up to its longstanding Nor276 dodecahedron loudspeaker, with a new small, lightweight, yet powerful and rugged design, engineered for the most demanding field and laboratory applications. The new Nor283 supersedes all previous Norsonic models, being able to deliver impressive sound power level at low frequencies for its size. The output level when powered by the battery-operated power amplifier Nor282 is an impressive 123dB LW.

The sound and vibration industry continues to consolidate. Norsonic, Scantek’s parent company, has been acquired by Rion. Norsonic and Rion are both established sound & vibration equipment manufacturers, the first founded and based in Norway, and the second based in Japan. As a leading provider in solutions for sound and vibration measurement instrumentation Scantek sells and supports both Norsonic’s and Rion’s products, as well as other product lines, including DataKustik, in the North American market.

NTi Audio announced its latest generation handheld measurement solution, the XL3 Acoustic Analyzer. This is a completely new design, evolving from the extremely popular XL2, adding USB-C, wireless web connectivity, a large color touchscreen, and multi-language interface. The XL3 is a complete professional sound level meter and acoustic analyzer dedicated to noise measurements, room acoustics and building acoustics applications, complemented by a range of optional software modules and functions.
