Nusing Manufacturing Invest in Sound Technology

Posted on 3rd October 2011

Nusing Manufacturing the production arm of Alco Wall Systems Ltd, is the only UK based manufacturer of Acoustic Movable Partition Walls to have its own onsite Acoustic Laboratory, operated by IOA (Institute of Acoustics) accredited acousticians.

The team at Nusing Manufacturing have made the leap to incorporate digitally visualising sound testing utilising the Norsonic 848 Acoustic Camera to aid in the acoustic performance of their products.

This cutting edge technology visually displays sound levels over a live feed from a room, allowing building structures and installation of a partition to be examined and any acoustic weaknesses identified. Unlike traditional BS ISO 140:4 tests which provide a performance value (dB) for an installed partition in a room, this visual representation of the sound allows for leakages and flanking transmission paths to be clearly identified. In turn this helps provide an acoustically stronger installation improving the acoustic performance in the rooms our products divide.

David Bolton Manufacturing & Development Director said:
‘this is an extremely exciting period for Nusing Manufacturing, It is thanks to our close links with local Universities that we have been able to fully utilise this cutting edge technology and hope these partnerships will help us improve our products in the future.’
