Soundcheck Software and Hardware

SoundCheck Features and Functionality

More about SoundCheck’s capabilities.

A SoundCheck® system from Listen includes everything you need to create and run audio tests on a wide range of devices – the software, the audio interface, additional test hardware, and test sequences.

The system is centered around the SoundCheck software. This powerful package controls and communicates with the measurement hardware, and includes all the stimuli, algorithms and analysis functionality needed to develop and run virtually any audio test. It is paired with hardware ranging from a simple, all-in one audio test box to sophisticated discrete components for a complete test system. In addition to Listen hardware, a range of 3rd party products and test accessories are fully supported within SoundCheck.

Quick measurements can be made using the Virtual Instruments in much the same way as with stand-alone laboratory hardware, and powerful, repeatable tests can be written quickly using the point-and-click interface for R&D or production use.

Easy data import and export, and full TCP/IP control ensure that SoundCheck integrates smoothly with your laboratory or production line.

The modular software and many hardware options enable a customized solution for your specific test requirements and budget. Annual software updates ensure that the system evolves to keep pace with evolving test methods and requirements, and both software and hardware can be expanded at any time to meet future testing needs.

Audio Testing Hardware

Listen’s SoundCheck software works with any professional quality soundcard and most brands of audio testing accessories for flexibility in your system configuration.

To simplify hardware selection, and to offer tight integration with the software, Listen also offers its own test hardware. Listen’s own hardware was developed specifically to meet the needs of the audio test market, including all the functionality that you need for audio test, and eliminating unnecessary functionality. True plug and play integration accelerates startup and configuration, and its often multifunctional nature reduces the number of hardware items that you need, simplifying setup and system footprint.

Audio Testing Hardware

All-in-one hardware

AmpConnect ISC: USB Controlled integrated Hardware: AmpConnect ISC combines an audio interface, impedance box, amplifier, microphone power supply and digital I/O card in a single unit to simplify setup and minimize errors. This is the most cost-effective approach for most loudspeaker, headphone and microphone tests.

Audio Interfaces

AudioConnect: Listen’s 2-in, 2-out audio interface with a host of additional useful functionality.
AudioConnect 4×4: Listen’s high precision 4-in, 4-out audio interface
Lynx: Various audio interfaces from Lynx for those who prefer an interface internal to the computer
RME: Alternatives to Listen Soundcards for those who require many channels.

Microphones, Power Supplies and Amplifiers

AmpConnect ISC: USB Controlled integrated Hardware: AmpConnect ISC combines an audio interface, impedance box, amplifier, microphone power supply and digital I/O card in a single unit to simplify setup and minimize errors. This is the most cost-effective approach for most loudspeaker, headphone and microphone tests.
SC Amp Audio Test Amplifier: SC Amp is the world’s only dedicated audio test amplifier, with features such as integrated impedance measurement, fixed gain to reduce calibration errors, and DC voltage offset support. It offers low distortion and a low noise floor.
SoundConnect microphone power supply: SoundConnect is a single channel microphone power supply with an excellent signal to noise ratio. It powers one SCM/electret microphone and is also available with a 200V polarization option.
SoundConnect 2 microphone power supply: SoundConnect 2 is a TEDS compatible dual channel microphone power supply with low self-noise and a wide frequency response. It powers 2 SCM/electret or IEPE microphones or accelerometers, and is available with a 200V polarization option.
SCM Audio Test Microphones: SCM Measurement microphones are robust, accurate, stable, and offer excellent directional response in both near and far field. They are available in 2 lengths.

Electronic Interfaces

DC Connect: DC Connect enables measurement of current consumption of battery operated and other low voltage devices such as hearing aids
MEMS microphone Interfaces: Interfaces for measuring and characterizing MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) microphones and other devices with a 1-bit PDM (Pulse Density Modulation) output.
Bluetooth Interface: Interface which offers full control over all Bluetooth protocol settings and explicit control over the CODEC choice, sample rate, and transmitter power
Digital Audio Data Interface: A programmable serial audio data interface for a simple and direct connection between circuit board components such DSP’s, DAC’s, ADC’s, CODECS , etc. and your audio test system
