Norsonic Announces New Nor283 Dodecahedron Loudspeaker

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.

HEAD acoustics announced a new interesting integration of an Augmented Reality (AR) solution from German startup HoloMetrix to enable highly efficient sound power and sound intensity measurements. The integration with HEAD acoustics Artemis SUITE allows the creation of sound intensity maps for fast source localization, with assistance functions that guide the user through the measurements and offer automatic quality checks with acoustic or visual feedback.

Measuring the sound insulation and reverberation time in multi-roomed buildings can become pretty tiring. Carrying a heavy amplifier and loudspeaker from room to room is also cumbersome. To better support the work of audio professionals and acousticians in their daily work, NTi Audio has developed a new lightweight, yet robust omnidirectional sound source, the DS3 Dodecahedron, together with the powerful PA3 Power Amplifier.
