dBJury: Evaluate the Sound Quality of your products!
As an application software dedicated to the subjective evaluation of your products sound quality dBJury gives access to ranking of sound recordings on a perceptual scale. dBJury enables to define listening sessions and listening procedures that drive the users along the evaluation process. The software is based on TCP/IP communication. Therefore, several evaluations can be performed at the same time on the same/different sessions on different PCs/Laptops. No specific organization such as room reservation, planning management is needed, leading to a highest reactivity in the diagnosis or design of industrial products.
