Acoustic Camera — Real-Time Noise Source Localization (Nor848B)

Pinpoint dominant noise sources in seconds. Frequency-selective beamforming and visual overlays for industrial diagnostics, building façade leak detection, and automotive R&D.

See the Noise. Fix the Root Cause.

The Nor848B Acoustic Camera turns sound into clear, actionable visuals. It localizes sources with frequency-selective beamforming and overlays acoustic maps on live video. Engineers use it to shorten troubleshooting time, communicate findings to stakeholders, and target interventions before formal compliance tests.

Typical use cases include machinery diagnostics (fans, pumps, compressors, HVAC), building façade leaks, rooftop plant, and automotive components. Unique advantages: friendly UI for fast adoption and full raw-data capture — you can always post-process later (change bands, windows, algorithms) without re-measuring.

Instrument Highlights

  • Modular array sizes from 0.4 m to 1.46 m
  • 128–384 digital microphones, 24-bit / 48 kHz
  • Mic frequency range: 100 Hz–20 kHz
  • HexTile range: 410 Hz–20 kHz; LF mode: 120 Hz–1 kHz
  • Real-time beamforming (narrowband / 1/3-octave), live video overlay
  • Plug-and-play via USB 3.0 / Ethernet; setup in minutes

Workflow

  1. Capture synchronized audio + video
  2. Analyze with frequency-selective beamforming
  3. Evaluate hotspots; compare bands/time windows
  4. Report annotated frames/videos for stakeholders

All raw data recorded → post-process anytime (no repeat site visits).

Where Acoustic Cameras Add Value

  • Industrial diagnostics — rotating machinery, conveyors, leaks, HVAC
  • Building acoustics — façade leaks, acoustic bridges, rooftop plant
  • Automotive — component R&D, pass-by noise contribution
  • Commissioning — before/after proof of mitigation effectiveness

Note: There are no formal ISO standards for acoustic camera testing; it is a diagnostic tool that complements intensity and pressure measurements by showing where to measure and what to fix.
