dBVision: Track the noise with images!
Taking advantage of the unrivaled accuracy of Nearfield Acoustic Holography (NAH) for identifying noise weakness parts in your products.
This powerful software package is dedicated to acoustical imaging (pressure and intensity) based on the holography technique. dBVision enables to localize the sources with a spatial resolution that only holography can reach.




Sound intensity and partial power can be derived from the preliminary data analysis in order to establish a ranking of the noisy components, thus making dBVISION a powerful tool for the improvement of a large panel of products.

Needing the accuracy of acoustical holography for eradicating sound sources?

dBVISION provides you with the power of Nearfield Acoustical Holography (NAH) for:

  • Best accuracy in noise Source localization
  • Most operational process for capturing the real test situation (RELAX technology)
  • Unique patented IPS technology for CABIN noise processing
  • Source quantification through immediate radiated power evaluation (global & partial)
