National Laboratory of Acoustics

Acoustics at primary level

DFM is the national laboratory for free-field calibrations and one of the best laboratories in the world. We offer many different measurements and calibrations within acoustics and we provide traceability to a large number of manufacturers and laboratories around the world.

We work constant to develop new services that are in demand by Danish companies but also to improve existing services.

We offer services in the following areas:

    • Calibration of pressure sensitivity
    • Calibration of free-field sensitivity
    • HF calibrations
    • Reciprocity calibrations
    • Comparison calibrations
    • Calibration of pistonphones
    • Calibration of sound calibrators
    • Calibration of ear simulators
    • Acoustic software

    If you have questions, are looking for guidance or can not find what you are looking for on our website then contact us.

     

    Calibration of absolute pressure sensitivity of microphones

    DFM offers accredited calibration of absolute pressure sensitivity of microphones both as reciprocity, comparison and actuator response.

    We offer calibrations of all types of microphones over a wide frequency range from 2 Hz to 200 kHz.

    All calibrations are performed in our accredited laboratory at DTU in Lyngby.

    Accredited calibration in the area:

    Calibration pressure pressure calibration:

    Frequency range (LS1 and selected WS): 2 Hz – 12.5 kHz

    Frequency range (LS2): 2 Hz – 31.5 kHz
