    Sound Power Measurement What Is Sound, Sound Pressure and Sound Pressure Level?

    www.dewesoft.com - Copyright © 2000 - 2021 Dewesoft d.o.o., all rights reserved. Sound power measurement What is Sound, Sound Pressure and Sound Pressure Level? Sound is actually a pressure wave - a vibration that propagates as a mechanical wave of pressure and displacement. Sound propagates through compressible media such as air, water, and solids as longitudinal waves and also as transverse waves in solids. The sound waves are generated by a sound source (vibrating diaphragm or a stereo speaker). The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound and are forming the sound wave. At a fixed distance from the sound source, the pressure, velocity, and displacement of the medium vary in time. Compression Refraction Direction of travel Wavelength, λ Movement of air molecules Sound pressure Sound pressure or acoustic pressure is the local pressure deviation from the ambient (average, or equilibrium) atmospheric pressure, caused by a sound wave. In air the sound pressure can be measured using a microphone, and in water with a hydrophone. The SI unit for sound pressure p is the pascal (symbol: Pa). 1 Sound pressure level Sound pressure level (SPL) or sound level is a logarithmic measure of the effective sound pressure of a sound relative to a reference value. It is measured in decibels (dB) above a standard reference level. The standard reference sound pressure in the air or other gases is 20 µPa, which is usually considered the threshold of human hearing (at 1 kHz).

    Lumens and Loudness: Projector Noise in a Nutshell

    Lumens and loudness: Projector noise in a nutshell Jackhammers tearing up the street outside; the In this white paper, we’re going to take a closer look at projector noise: what causes neighbor’s dog barking at squirrels; the hum of it, how to measure it, and how to keep it to a minimum. the refrigerator: noise is a fixture in our daily Why do projectors make noise? lives, and projectors are no exception. Like many high-tech devices, they depend on cooling There’s more than one source of projector noise, of course, but cooling fans are by systems that remove excess heat before it can far the major offender—and there’s no way around them. Especially projector bulbs cause permanent damage, and these systems give off a lot of heat. This warmth must be continuously removed or the projector will overheat, resulting in serious damage to the system. The fans that keep air unavoidably produce noise. flowing through the projector, removing heat before it can build to dangerous levels, make noise. Fans can’t help but make noise: they are designed to move air, and the movement of air is what makes sound. How much sound they make depends on their construction: the angle of the blades, their size, number and spacing, their surface quality, and the fan’s rotational speed. Moreover, for projector manufacturers it’s also key not to place a fan too close to an air vent or any kind of mesh, or they’ll end up with the siren effect: very annoying high-frequency, pure-tone noise caused by the sudden interruption of the air flow by the vent bars or the mesh wires.

    69 IASA RESEARCH GRANT REPORT: a STUDY on the CHANGING PRICES of AUDIOVISUAL DIGITIZATION, 2006–2015 Rebecca Chandler, Avpres

    ARTICLE IASA RESEARCH GRANT REPORT: A STUDY ON THE CHANGING PRICES OF AUDIOVISUAL DIGITIZATION, 2006–2015 Rebecca Chandler, AVPreserve, USA Introduction Over the past five years in the United States and Europe there has been a decisive decline in the cost of digitization, resulting in historically low prices. This has been due to a variety of rea- sons, ranging from innovation to marketplace competition. With a shortening window of time in which to act, this economic advantage has been a boon to organizations with holdings of legacy audiovisual media. This is widely recognized and discussed among managers and budget holders within organizations. However, what has not been evaluated effectively is whether or not we are currently in a digitization market bubble. We hypothesize that obsolescence, degradation, and market factors will begin to place the cost of digitization back on an upward trajectory. What we do not know is how the curve will look. Our experience indicates that organizations are unwilling to believe that prices will increase at the same rate that they decreased, or that they will ever again reach even 50% of what they were just five years ago. However, these discussions are often emotionally-driven and take place without a well-laid foundation of data from which to judge. With the support of an IASA Research Grant, we set out to design a project that would begin to amass a shared and computable dataset that can help us ask questions and provide projections about our hypothesis. The goal of this project is to quantify and chart in detail the historical pricing trends for digitization over the past 10–15 years.

    UIUC Physics 406 Acoustical Physics of Music The Human Ear Hearing, Sound Intensity and Loudness Levels We’ve been discussing the generation of sounds, so now we’ll discuss the perception of sounds. Human Senses: The astounding ~ 4 billion year evolution of living organisms on this planet, from the earliest single-cell life form(s) to the present day, with our current abilities to hear / see / smell / taste / feel / etc. – all are the result of the evolutionary forces of nature associated with “survival of the fittest” – i.e. it is evolutionarily{very} beneficial for us to be able to hear/perceive the natural sounds that do exist in the environment – it helps us to locate/find food/keep from becoming food, etc., just as vision/sight enables us to perceive objects in our 3-D environment, the ability to move /locomote through the environment enhances our ability to find food/keep from becoming food; Our sense of balance, via a stereo-pair (!) of semi-circular canals (= inertial guidance system!) helps us respond to 3-D inertial forces (e.g. gravity) and maintain our balance/avoid injury, etc. Our sense of taste & smell warn us of things that are bad to eat and/or breathe… Human Perception of Sound: * The human ear responds to disturbances/temporal variations in pressure. Amazingly sensitive! It has more than 6 orders of magnitude in dynamic range of pressure sensitivity (12 orders of magnitude in sound intensity, I p2) and 3 orders of magnitude in frequency (20 Hz – 20 KHz)! * Existence of 2 ears (stereo!) greatly enhances 3-D localization of sounds, and also the determination of pitch (i.e.

The series already includes two outstanding camcorders – the PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3 – which realize full-HD pictures of amazingly high quality by adopting three 1/2-inch-type “Exmor™” full-HD CMOS sensors in a compact body. An advanced workflow, based on “SxS PRO™” memory card as the recording media, ensures effective file-base operation. Now Sony evolves this XDCAM EX line-up with the introduction of two new camcorders. The PMW-350 is the first and long-awaited shoulder camcorder in the family. It comes equipped with the cutting-edge imaging technology of three 2/3-inch-type “Exmor” full-HD CMOS sensors, and it uses SxS memory card as the recording media. The other new camcorder is the PMW-EX1R, the direct successor of the PMW-EX1. It includes as standard an SD recording and playback function, as well as numerous improvements over the PMW-EX1. Both new camcorders support not just SxS PRO memory card but also more affordable “SxS-1™” media. There is also an innovative on-site backup solution with PXU-MS240 – enhancements which improve workflow and expand user convenience.
