VARDATA: Pictures from the measurement system in the varechoic chamber


The Lake Huron system is placed under the big white fan (Huron has some thermal problems). On the left, we see some of the cables. The Tascam pre-amplifiers are placed in a rack behind the Huron.

The varechoic chamber is controlled using a graphical user interface shown below.

The varechoic chamber. The microphone array is placed close to the north wall. The fiber glass absorber is placed behind the
array. At front we see one of the measurement loudspeakers (Genelec 1030a).

A closer look at the array. Microphone elements are attached to the bar using a plastic ring and they are facing downwards.
The microphones are omnidirectional, but this placement may make some difference at very high frequencies.
