Ever ready: Thanks to a powerful battery and a multitude of integrated interfaces, the SQuadriga III compact hand-held system with its 8 analog channels and various digital inputs is ideal for mobile sound and vibration measurements in any industrial application. It allows recordings to be made in any environment and also takes into account the latest psychoacoustic findings for optimal sound design.
Measurement chain validation as per Class 1 of IEC 61672 is possible in front-end operation.
Integrated interfaces make additional adapters unnecessary. Highest-quality recordings are achievable using a binaural headset (e.g. BHS II) or artificial head (e.g. Head-Shoulder-Unit HSU III.2, HSU III.3). SQuadriga III features one integrated FlexRay connector and two CAN FD connectors. Three USB ports allow video recordings to be made or photographs to be taken via external cameras, e.g. to document the measurement situation.
The user-friendly look and feel of the SQuadriga III is rounded off by the 7-inch display with capacitive multitouch and intuitive operation. A powerful processor handles psychoacoustic analyses such as sharpness and loudness in addition to time signal, FFT and one-third octave band spectrum. The system operates silently and is ready to go in just a few seconds after switching on.
