The Global Solution
SoundCheck makes it easy for the production line to carry out the same tests as the R&D lab – this ensures that consumers are hearing exactly what the design engineer intended. Since there is no expensive and complex hardware, SoundCheck is affordable for production applications. It is fast and offers full integration with automated production lines. Most importantly, its advanced algorithms ensure that testing remains reliable, even in high noise environments.
SoundCheck also offers the accuracy and flexibility demanded by R&D. It includes an entire laboratory full of instrumentation including a spectrum analyzer, real time analyzer, signal generator, multimeter and oscilloscope. The operator has full control over all test parameters and SoundCheck’s advanced analysis and post processing capabilities extend far beyond those of conventional R&D hardware. Soundcheck installed on a laptop is effectively a complete laboratory-quality audio test station in a briefcase, making it perfect for on-site vendor audits or production line troubleshooting.
The same measurement sequences can be configured differently for R&D and production use. For example, an R&D test may allow the operator to modify the input parameters and output a full and detailed analysis of the results, whereas the production version can be pre-configured to only allow ‘one-click’ operation to output a simple pass/fail result to the operator and write the full test results to a database. Companies can therefore develop highly sophisticated tests for internal use, and share a production version of the test sequence with their manufacturing facilities or third party vendors. This facilitates global quality control, wherever the manufacturing takes place.
Listen offers a Chinese language version of SoundCheck, and sales and support centers in China, Taiwan, and other Asian and European countries offer local language training and support. With the software’s different language options and the use of the internet to transfer data, the possibilities are endless. Test sequences can easily be shared with overseas facilities and vendors. If production line problems occur, test results can be emailed as .WAV files to the R&D lab for more detailed analysis and evaluation. This minimizes expensive production line downtime as there is no need to ship the faulty product back to the engineers for in-depth analysis, or fly the engineers out to the production line! It is even possible for a manager to observe, in real time, the test data from a production line on another continent.
