SoundWare™ philosophy

With today's personal computer technology and software development tools, the capabilities of dedicated instrumentation can be recreated in a virtual environment. Listen's vision is to change the nature of sound measurement instrumentation, by transforming systems consisting of dedicated equipment and specialized hardware into SoundWare, our application-specific software running on a PC (desktop or laptop), to measure, analyze, and report sound information.

Listen's flagship SoundWare module, SoundCheck, has achieved a technological breakthrough in quality control testing of electroacoustic transducers (loudspeakers, microphones, and etc.). We have optimized a turn-key, PC-based test system, to provide exceptional test throughput and performance at a fraction of the cost of typical in-house and R&D systems.

Since SoundWare uses the latest graphical programming tools for Windows, we readily optimize our system to customer test needs, now and in the future. The system is modular, which means customers can upgrade as their needs change. Our system will never become obsolete because as the performance of PC technology improves so will our test system. We use the latest in high quality data acquisition boards and our measurements are accurate to within ± 0.1 dB. Since our system is PC-based we can offer a complete test system for under $10,000
