labCORE is the modular hardware platform for high-precision voice and audio quality testing and tailored for the use with the measurement and analysis software ACQUA. Multi-channel capability, high-end inputs and outputs, programmable interfaces: labCORE provides numerous features in a single unit. Users can adapt the hardware platform exactly to individual test scenarios and flexibly expand it at any time as required. This modularity makes labCORE future-proof: It is possible to add new technologies quickly and easily through optional hardware or software extensions.
Whether mobile phones, headphones, IoT devices like smart speakers or in-vehicle hands-free devices and ICC systems: the versatile hardware platform labCORE is the all-in-one solution for testing voice and audio quality for the highest demands.
Versatile extensions for labCORE include among others:
- High-precision, low distortion and low noise analog inputs and outputs
- Microphone inputs
- VoIP interfaces and codecs
- Power amplifiers
- Bluetooth® functionality
- A2B® extension

Features
- The basic unit of the hardware platform is equipped with common interfaces for measuring audio and communication devices, e.g.:
- 2 analog BNC input and two analog BNC output sockets
- 1 USB audio host (type C) port at the front for audio measurements of e.g. USB headsets and headphones
- 1 USB type B port for connection of the ACQUA PC
- 1 USB type A ports
- 1 headphone output (6.3 mm socket) for measuring and monitoring purposes
- 2 BNC sockets as general purpose input/output (GPIO), that serve as a digital audio interface (e.g. programmable as I2S (Inter-IC Sound))
- RJ45 Ethernet sockets to connect VoIP applications (e.g. VoIP phones, SIP server, radio tester)
- 2 AES inputs/outputs
- 1 ADAT interface (TOSLINK socket)
- 1 HEADlink socket (LEMO 8-pin) for connecting HEAD acoustics devices like MSA I or MSA II
- The functionality of labCORE can be expanded by various hardware and software extensions (e.g. power amplifier, microphone inputs, high-performance and low-noise inputs/outputs, binaural equalization, VoIP extensions, Bluetooth® capability, A2B® extension)
- The hardware platform is tailored for use with the measurement and analysis software ACQUA
- At least one of the following software applications is required to control labCORE:
