With the CALM Act right away law in the U.S. and correspondence shortly to be mandatory, Prism Sound is using the NAB 2012 stage to prominence the significance of intensity scale corroboration by display a new focus for its award-winning dScope Series III audio analyzer.

This unique, freely-available assessment apartment allows broadcasters and manufacturers to establish either every aspect of their scale pattern complies with the ultimate general intensity standards.

Developed by Dr. Rich Cabot, owner and CTO of Qualis Audio, and Ian Dennis, joint-founder and CTO of Prism Sound, this thorough new apartment of audio tests may be used to weigh the opening and correspondence of any intensity scale on the market. As U.S. broadcasters are right away legally thankful to accede with the ATSC A/89 standards, Prism Sound's new assessment apartment enables them to accurately weigh all intensity meters and make sure that their selected product can broach both ATSC and ITU BS.1770 compliance.

The new assessment apartment will be on uncover at Prism Sound's NAB 2012 counter (C3029). Visitors to the counter can get hold of a giveaway set of WAV files and dScope Series III assessment files for verifying the opening of their intensity meters.

Prism Sound offers a operation of audio assessment solutions inclusive the highly-acclaimed dScope Series III instrument, that incorporates precision, automatic gain-ranging that allows high-resolution analog measurements over a large range, from a couple of V to more than 150V RMS, and from reduction than 1Hz to over 90kHz. Its dedicated hardware interface uses DSP to give a far-reaching operation of real-time measurements, whilst its program exploits the horde Personal Computer for roughly infinite number crunching and review options such as Fast Fourier Transforms, unique 'Smart FFT' soothing instruments, swept sine and multitone testing. Designed to be rarely programmable, the dScope Series III may be programmed from a far-reaching operation of third-party program applications using Active X controls, or internally using VBScript.
