AcSoft - Latest News

News

Here’s the first update for 2011—as we come out of hibernation in the snow!

Despite tough times for everyone in the industry, AcSoft’s broad range of products and applications helps us weather the storm, and our suppliers are constantly innovating with new products and software. The weakness of the pound hasn’t helped the price lists, but we still offer the best bang for buck in the business!

Svantek goes from strength to strength, and their range of DSP-based instruments is second to none. The new 979 has just been released, featuring colour OLED display, and 1/1 & 1/3 octave real-time analysis as standard.

A new UK company, Svantek UK is now running, which will take over Svantek business in UK. It’s a joint venture with AcSoft, with all the same familiar faces and support. Find the website at www.svantek.co.uk

Sinus has just released the new Apollo USB front end, which offers up to 8 channels of analysis, in a rugged external box. The Samurai software performs all the usual things like real-time analysis, FFT, signal recording, sound level meter, vibration meter, and even video!

Additional options cover sound intensity, sound power and pass-by applications

Version 2 of Samurai is now on the streets, with many unique new features, such as multi-parameter spectrum analysis, and post-processing on signal recordings.

SoundBook has also been updated, now with 24bit modular and upgradeable hardware in the rugged ToughBook platform

Listen has released the new AmpConnect, which makes interfacing of transducers to the new SoundCheck 9 really easy, with I/O interface for production testing. And the new SoundCheckONE is an excellent entry level system to compete with lower cost systems, including the AmpConnect for less than £6,000 + VAT

Our relationship with Dytran has gone from strength to strength, and their range of accelerometers and hammers is now extra good value, and new arrangements in Europe will speed up the delivery time, and stabilise pricing
