Prism Sound Introduces Wednesday Webinar Events

Product developers and engineers working in the consumer electronics, automotive and broadcast industries now have the opportunity to tune in to a series of free webinars organised by Prism Sound. The Wednesday Webinar series starts on 24 June with Mobile Music: a webinar presented by Prism Sound's Dan Foley on measuring the acoustic and electronic performance of portable music players. This event considers whether portable-music-player customers are in danger of suffering hearing damage.

Attendees will learn how to make accurate, reliable and repeatable measurement of headphones, earphones and portable-music-player electronics. These measurements are vital in ensuring that customers are protected from excessive loudness but still enjoy high-quality sound. Topics covered in the webinar will include: the present standards environment regarding human safety; fixtures for testing circumaural, supra-aural and supra-concha headphones, ear buds (intra-concha) and insert earphones (intra-canal); and test techniques for headphones, ear buds and portable players.

The second Wednesday Webinar session, which takes place on 8 July, will focus on the broadcast industry, with Prism Sound's Doug Ordon explaining test strategies for reliable, high-quality digital audio in HD radio. This webinar will ask the question: is your digital audio stream plagued by pops and glitches? It will also ask: is your sound turning off your audience? Attendees will learn how to build high-quality, reliable digital audio distribution networks free from annoying pops, glitches and drop-outs.

Topics covered will include: the AES3 format; how to understand the eye pattern; reliability and connectivity issues for AES3 digital audio; and test techniques for transmission reliability in bit- and non-transparent signal chains. Prism Sound is running its Wednesday Webinar series on the second and last Wednesday of every month. Future topics will cover audio testing for the live sound environment, for microphones and amplifiers and for automotive products. Prism Sound will run two sessions on each topic - the first starting at 09.00 EDT and the second at 13.00 EDT.

Sessions will last for 20 minutes and there will be an additional 10 minutes for questions. The sessions are free to attend but spaces are limited. Those interested can register via the Prism Sound website at www.prismsound.com/webinar.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
