Laboratory established
05 October 2016
AcSoft has established an Acoustic Calibration Laboratory at its new state-of-the-art office in Bedford.

With the first phase of the facility fully operational, the company is now able to offer on-site calibration of its G.R.A.S measurement microphones and pre-amplifiers, as well as perform diagnostics and repairs.
AcSoft has appointed acoustics specialist Alejandro (Alex) Santana to head up the new calibration laboratory.
Paul Rubens, General Manager at AcSoft comments: “Calibrating microphones at regular intervals is a way to safeguard the quality of measurements and eliminate the costs caused by unreliable equipment.
He adds: “We have replicated the excellent calibration set up of G.R.A.S Sound & Vibration in Denmark. Having a dedicated in-house acoustic calibration laboratory backed by Alex’s expertise and passion means we can offer market-leading turnaround times and a cost effective service.
“Going forward, we will be expanding the laboratory’s capabilities to include accelerometers and a wide range of sound level meters, analysers and dosimeters,” Paul concludes.
Depending on the application, measurement environment and internal quality control programs, AcSoft recommends that microphones are calibrated at a dedicated acoustic calibration laboratory at least once a year.
All AcSoft’s measurements are traceable to national standards. It offers a full and cost effective multi-point frequency and sensitivity calibration for measurement microphones and pre-amplifiers.
