TUBE | High Level Impedance Tube

Mecanum’s high sound level impedance tube, having a diameter of 29 mm, is designed to measure the main acoustic indicators of a wide range of acoustic materials using 2, 3 or 4 microphones methods.

In in situ configuration, this high sound level impedance tube will be ideal for measuring the surface impedance of aeronautical liners or perforated plates and thus studying their non-linear behavior at high levels (155 dB).
