With modern electronics, we often need to evaluate interactions between electronic products and their acoustic environments, especially with security and alarm systems. This can ensure that these products function properly in various environments.

Always Worried About Safety and the Security System Failing?

Let’s conduct a serious thought experiment. When you’re in a noisy nightclub or dance hall and the fire alarm starts ringing, can people hear it? If the people inside cannot hear the alarm, it probably needs to be relocated or needs to be turned up louder. Product designers also need to redesign the security alarms to ensure the sounds are not overshadowed by background noise or noisy environments.

The Implementation and Limitations of Traditional Field Testing

In the past, testing and evaluating the scenario above was through a method called field testing. It involves taking the product to an actual nightclub or dance hall and testing the product. However, field testing is not only expensive and time-consuming, but also could come with potential risks and issues like reproducibility.

With Sound Field Reconstruction Technology, Reproducing Environmental Sounds is Easier Than Ever

Allion’s consulting team is fully aware of these issues and challenges for manufacturers, so we’ve introduced sound field reconstruction technology into our services to simulate various sound environments like offices, cafés, roads, train carriages, dance halls, and more. This allows us to test products in a controlled environment, solving the issues with traditional field testing.

With our sound field reconstruction technology, security and alarm system manufacturers can now test product performance in real scenarios and environments. This can help manufacturers save time and money, at the same time ensuring their products can provide results in actual usage scenarios. Potential risks will also be identified and resolved in an efficient manner.
