CE Electro-Acoustics offers the following in-house facilities:

• Loudspeaker assessment - Detailed measurement and full loudspeaker assessment for product benchmarking and sample specification.
• Full anechoic chamber - For accurate acoustic measurement and specification.
• Clio (FireWire V10, portable for on and off site measurements) and Mlssa time and frequency domain measurement tools - For visualisation and measurement of acoustic performance.
• SoundCheck measurement and distortion analyser - A powerful tool for detailed analysis of distortion and behaviour of transducers.
• Neumann KU100 - The KU100 dummy head is used in many applications, such as room acoustics, automotive audio and headphone acoustic research.

Measurement, combined with subjective evaluation, is crucial for hi-fi and automotive system voicing. Listening experience has been built on accumulated hours spent with prototypes, systems and companies. Able to give or maintain a 'sound signature' for a brand. Finding the right sound for a customer is paramount, not only important for defining a brand’s sound, but also maintaining smooth integration of new designs into existing product ranges. This art of listening has also been strengthened by training from Dave Clark (DLC Design), enabling a systematic approach to subjective evaluation.   

In-house full anechoic acoustic measurement room, essential for accurate loudspeaker analysis and development (approximately 12m^3).

Other services include the KU100 dummy head. This is a binaural stereo microphone. The head resembles the human head and has two microphone capsules built into the ears. When listening through high-quality headphones, it gives the illusion of being at the scene of the acoustic event.

The dummy head is also used in many industrial applications as a measuring device for acoustic research. Services offered by CE Electro -Acoustics include:

• Measurement and analysis of loudspeakers in automobiles.
• Headphone benchmarking and performance measurements.
• Measurement and analysis of room acoustics.
