[NEW] The First Helmet-Integrated Binaural Microphone Kit
Capture what motocycle drivers are really hearing. Precise. Realistic. Reproducible.
We are excited to introduce the First Motorcycle Helmet with Integrated Biaural Microphone Kit (BMK) - a breakthrough solution designed for realistic motorcycle sound measurement and acoustic analysis.
With the Biaural Microphone Kit (BMK), HEAD acoustics introduces the first biaural microphones integrated into a motorcycle helmet and specifacally developed for acoustic measurement applications. This intiative solution provides realistic, reliable, and reproducible acoustic measurements during motorcycle test rides and impresses with high wearing comfort and east of handling.
The precise acquisition of acoustic data on motorcycles has so far been a particular challenge. Conventional measurement methods, for example. those using in-ear microphones, often impair comfort and operability. This can lead to inconsistent measurement results and lower acceptance among test drivers and development engineers.
BMK addresses these challenges by directly integrating biaural measurement technology into the SHOEI GT-Air 3 Helmet. The result is a practical, user-friendly solution that significantly simplifies acoustic tests under real-world driving conditions.
The most imporant advantages of BMK at a glance
- Optimized operability and handling for faster measurement setup and more efficient test sequences
- Improved measurement reproducibility for consistent and reliable data collection
- Realistic acoustic perception
Realistic biaural measurements on the road
BMK integrates seamlessly into HEAD acoustics' mobile measurement ecosystem. With a mobile data acquisition system such as SQuadriga III or SQobold mounted on the motorcycle, realistic biaural sound can be recorded directly at the riders' ears.
This setup enables efficient analysis of a wide range of acoustic phenomena, such as driving, comfort, sound quality, wind noise and other vehicle acoustic characteristics. The measurements are taken under real-world operating conditions and provide valuable insights into the actual listening experience while driving.
Listen. evaluate, and share results
In addition to the recording function, BMK supports HEAD acoustics unique biaural playback solutions. Users can listen to recorded sound events on-site and evaluate the acoustic performance immdiately after each test drive. With the automatically configured and equalized BHS biaural headset, recorded audio files can be reproduced with particularly realistic sound in conjunction with a mobile measurement system. This allows teams to share auditory impressions immediately, discuss measurement results, and make informed decisons directly at the test site.
With the introduction of the BMK, HEAD acoustics is expanding its portfolio of advanced acoustic measurement solutions and setting new standards for motorcycle noise measurement. The system integrated measurement accuracy, wearing comfort, and practically into a single solution.
