DirectOut, a leading provider of audio technology, is pleased to announce the successful deployment of its modular audio platform, PRODIGY.MP, in extreme acoustic testing conducted by Acoustic Research Systems (ARS).  <\/p>\n

ARS, is an industry leader of Direct Field Acoustic Testing, and relies on multiple PRODIGY.MP to ensure accurate and repeatable launch simulations. Founded by Eric Friedlander and Jeremiah Leiter, ARS has established itself as a disruptive innovator in the field of acoustic testing.  <\/p>\n

The company utilizes PRODIGY.MP as a critical link between the acoustic test control system and the ARS NeutronTM acoustic fields. Designed to provide next-generation acoustic power output for aerospace, scientific and industrial applications, the ARS NeutronTM System is part of the turn-key, complete solution for mobile or fixed High Power Direct Field Acoustic Testing needs. <\/p>\n

Orbiting satellites provide essential services for us on Earth: communication and internet access, navigation and weather forecasting, even scientific and military objectives. Launching these objects through our atmosphere is accompanied by tremendous noise, vibration and pressure loads, so testing these, and other space-bound objects is crucial for verifying their durability.  <\/p>\n

A Falcon 9 rocket launch creates approximately 107dBa and the historic Saturn 5 rockets of the Apollo era were over 200dBa. These are amongst the loudest sounds possible on Earth. Sound at this volume stops being a wave moving through air and becomes a massive pressure zone, pushing air with huge force causing gigantic destructive vibrations. To ensure the survivability of delicate electronics and solar panels required by modern space-technology, launches today require robust testing methods. <\/p>\n

The NeutronTM acoustic field generating platform is the first turn-key ultra-high output field acoustic testing and launch simulation system, with each unit weighing in at over 770kg, these are substantial acoustic devices. Used in groups of three, these stacks are capable of producing over 150dB, exactly the level needed to recreate the force of dangerously loud rocket engines. 
 
The PRODIGY.MP platform offers flexible I\/O, dual network audio, DSP functions, sample rate conversion, and powerful software. In conjunction with the NeutronTM system, PRODIGY.MP ensures that the correct input signals are precisely routed to the appropriate output points, guaranteeing successful test execution. The built-in redundancy of PRODIGY.MP, including dual power supplies and Dante redundancy, delivers exceptional operational reliability. <\/p>\n
