“They are occasionally used in our semianechoic chamber for ATF tests.”

“We use the 146AE mic for in-vehicle measurements, on track and facilities in a wide range of applications … interior noise in dynamic and customer-focused conditions, Acoustic and Vibrational Transfer Function.”

“At the moment we are using the 146AE microphones in high temperature/under bonnet testing as we seem to have damaged a few of the standard 46AE pre-amplifers.”.”

“We use them for Tire Noise measuring 50mm away from the road shells, these microphones enable us to measure without damaging the diaphragm from dirt ingress.”

“Some of the track test teams are using them for external measurements on the track on the external faces of the vehicles as these microphones are fne in damp/wet conditions.”

“We use the mics mainly for in-car dynamic measuring, sometimes externally too for tire testing.”

“The 146AE is very suitable for our interior and exterior noise measurements for armoured vehicles and commercial buses. Armoured vehicles are exposed to extreme vibration and shocks, and the measurement medium is always challenging – i.e. dusty, hot, vibrant etc.”

“Powertrain NVH measurements, Engine NVH studies, and Interior NVH Studies. Engine measurements are rough, so we lose a lot of sensors every year!”

“We use them in all areas of the vehicles really, from interior noise measurements, tyre contact noise, anything under the bonnet and even sometimes in the transmission tunnels for gearbox/diff related noise. Our specifc department is NVH, basically noise and vibration, so all sorts from differential whine to creaks and rattles in the cabin.”

“To place the 146AE in a vehicle wheel well in order to measure Automatic Gear Shift Noise whilst driving, with the beneft of the 146AE that it can handle the risk of water/dust ingress, being a durable solution for real world testing.”

“We have used the frst generation 46AE across powertrain NVH measurements. I was surprised how easy it was to move from the 46AE to the 146AE.”
