Our Acoustic Measurement and Visualization systems provide solutions for acoustic diagnostics including NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and industrial noise detection. VisiSonics’ FINDr software allows users to more easily record, visualize and analyze noise sources and reflections. Our industry-leading acoustic diagnostics solution are used in the automotive industry, academia and R&D, aerospace as well as venue architecture.
The 5/64 Audio Visual Camera is a spherical microphone and video array for acoustic visualization. With our Audio Camera and FINDr software, users can capture, store, retrieve and process real-time integrated and synchronized audio and visual information.
Featuring the same powerful 64 microphone architecture as the Audio Visual Camera, our Planar Array allows users to focus the array on a specific area of interest. Map exterior acoustics with ease.
The VisiSonics Digital Array Microphone (VDAM) system’s patented array technology offers the ultimate in flexibility. It allows for novel configurations of microphones to design your own array.
The ultimate in portability, VisiSonics’ new Portable Acoustic Camera offers a truly cableless microphone array with NVH analysis built in. Localize, record and analyze anywhere!
“Noise, vibration and harshness is a key study for auto manufacturers. The fact that the most prevalent noise, the combustion engine, can be eliminated, brings on a whole new suite of challenges. The VisiSonics Audio Camera is a great tool in helping to identify and localize those challenges.”
—Garland Dughi, Tesla Motors Noise and Vibration Specialist
Working with microphone arrays is often frustrating, expensive and time-consuming. As the number of microphones increases, the ability to process data becomes increasingly difficult.
VisiSonics’ VDAM resolves these challenges. The VDAM’s patented architecture takes only minutes to set up and allows the easy creation of very large scale microphone arrays. With its suite of development tools including Matlab, ASIO, and C APIs, people can spend more time developing new array configurations, algorithms, and analyzing data, and less time dealing with yet another cabling issue.
“One of the reasons I’m excited to use VisiSonics [Array Microphones] is the large number of audio channels, which will give the resolution and harmonic order necessary to produce results with the high level of accuracy and precision required for cutting-edge acoustics research.”
— David Bradley, Vassar College
Our tools help users easily and accurately identify troublesome acoustic artifacts such as noise leaks, late reflections and slapback problems.
“We knew the [Paramount Theater] was going to be a challenge. The venue is primarily made of brick and concrete, which leads to a highly reverberant space. VisiSonics’ solution had an easy setup and gave us instant, real-time feedback, allowing us to quickly identify problematic ‘hot spots’ and apply solutions that dramatically improved the acoustic clarity of the venue, without affecting the ambience, environment and atmosphere of the theater.”

This video demonstrates the Audio Visual Camera identifying audio sources and reflections. It presents a slow-motion video of sound reflections in a concert hall at the University of Maryland. You will see the initial “chirp” from the stage, followed by the subsequent reflections from surfaces in the listening space. At the 20-second mark in the video, you can see a diffuser in the back of the room spreading the sound reflection and eliminating a slapback problem.
