🚀 Our friend Stephen Durrant at the European Space Agency - ESA shared fascinating insights in this article about the incredible work we did alongside the Orion and European Service Module teams. 



Ensuring that the #ISS astronauts sharing the same building as the #Orion module itself (the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building) got enough sound sleep prior to their launch was an interesting Assembly, Integration & Test (AI&T) requirement to work around... Waking up our neighbors would have been bad! 🤫👩‍🚀👨‍🚀 



The teams conducted acoustic tests involving a range of frequencies from 25Hz to 10,000Hz, generating a remarkable 140dB of noise! 



The power behind this test was astounding: 110 subwoofers driven by a massive 8500-watt amplifier, totaling nearly 1 million watts just for the subs! 



The mid/high speakers add another 3 million watts, all powered by a 1 MegaWatt generator. 



Talk about some serious #DFAT hardware! 😎

When it comes to Direct Field Acoustic Testing (DFAT), there aren’t many earth-shattering revelations. Instead, we’ve been perfecting the art and science of #DFAT since we pioneered it back in the '90s.



This snapshot is taken from some of our first systems way back in 2010, a time when #DFAT was considered "cool" and "new." 😉



Our customers appreciate our modular speaker designs because they can customize their test setups to meet specific technical specifications and requirements. Each test is unique; no two acoustic experiments are exactly the same!



So, how can a single acoustic test system meet all the possible combinations of unique requirements? It cannot.



We call that adaptability "personalization." It’s like getting a perfectly tailored Italian suit. Off-the-rack suits might suffice, but they lack that perfect fit. And "one-size-fits-all" solutions? They often fall short too.



Our low-frequency cabinets are intentionally separate from our mid-high and ultra-high frequency cabinets, by design. 



While we could, in theory, combine everything into a single cabinet unit, we’ve so far found that separating them allows us to better tailor the setup to meet the unique needs of our customers.



It’s not flashy or new—it’s simply what works! 



With over 200 successful qualifications and counting, our results speak for themselves.
