The Future of Acoustic Measurement: The Sound Scanner

The Seven Bel Sound Scanner is a particularly unique acoustic camera, with it’s cutting-edge technology, compact design, and cloud-based processing, this device is reshaping how you’ll be able to visualise and manage challenges in sound.

A Shift in Acoustic Imaging

Acoustic cameras have been an option for detecting sound problems since the 90s. Being able to function in a range of industries from construction, machinery and automotive design to environmental noise assessments.

Traditional systems often come with significant cost and drawbacks: they are often bulky, complicated to set up, and require hours of post-processing. The Sound Scanner P132 eliminates these hurdles, delivering high quality acoustic images in less than 2 minutes.

At the heart of the Sound Scanners innovation is its unique sensor system. Most acoustic cameras will use an array of microphones in a mesh format, this often requires multiple hundred microphones to get a measurement. This creates more points where something can go wrong as well as upping the cost of the meter massively.

What Seven Bel did, was bypass the need for this by attaching 5 microphones to a rotating arm. This spins to simulate the mesh design that many cameras use. This creates over 480 different microphone positions from a massively reduced scale.

This not only reduces the cost but increases the reliability as there is much less that can go wrong.

Cloud-Based Processing: Results in Seconds

The Sound Scanner P132 uses cloud technology to streamline this process. Once a sound measurement is taken, the data is transmitted to the cloud via the Sound Scanners companion mobile app. Within seconds, you’ll receive an acoustic image to analyse, allowing you to easily pinpoint noise sources.

This cloud-based system not only speeds up data processing but also simplifies the work on your end. There’s no need to haul around laptops, power adapters, or data recorders—all the heavy lifting is done by the cloud. This means that you’ll be able to perform sophisticated acoustic measurements on the go, dramatically reducing the time and resources needed for sound analysis.

Mobility and Ease of Use: A Game-Changer

One of the standout features of the Sound Scanner P132 is its portability. Weighing just 1.4 kg, the device is lightweight and compact. With its size and design, you can go from the camera fully boxed up, to ready to measure in 2 minutes.

Whether you’re assessing noise inside a factory, inspecting building acoustics, or troubleshooting in remote locations, the P132 can be deployed with next to no effort.

What makes the P132 even more powerful is its integration with mobile devices. The system is controlled entirely via an Android app, eliminating the need for bulky control units. You can monitor results, control the scanner, and even generate reports directly from your phone—allowing acoustic measurements to be conducted from virtually anywhere.

A Future-Focused Solution for Multiple Industries

The versatility of the Sound Scanner P132 makes it ideal for a wide range of applications. In the field of product development, it enables you to identify noise sources in complex environments, helping to design quieter, more efficient machines. In architecture, it assists in identifying sound leaks in buildings, providing valuable insights for improving acoustic insulation.

Environmental noise monitoring is another key application for the P132. With its ability to measure low-frequency sounds, the device is perfect for assessing noise pollution in urban and industrial areas. The quick setup and mobile functionality also allow you to respond swiftly to emerging issues, ensuring compliance with noise regulations.

Simplified Collaboration and Data Sharing

Once acoustic images are processed, the system can automatically generate reports that are ready to share with anyone. The reports include detailed acoustic data, making it easier for your team to communicate findings and implement solutions.

The cloud integration also enables easy access to measurement data from any location, allowing teams to work together remotely. Whether you’re in the office or on-site, the P132’s cloud-based platform keeps everyone connected and informed.

The Sound Scanner P132 represents a bold step forward in the world of acoustic measurement. By combining mobile convenience, cloud-based processing, and ultra-fast setup, it offers a solution that meets the demands of today’s industries.

As sound measurement continues to evolve, tools like the P132 will play a crucial role in helping professionals work faster, smarter, and more effectively.

If you’re ready to experience the future of acoustic imaging, the Sound Scanner P132 is here to take your sound diagnostics to the next level.
