6-Microphone Arrays for In-Cabin Acoustic Testing GRAS PR0003 & PR0004!
The Future of NVH Testing in Coming
The Gold Standard in Cabin Sound Measurement
Today’s drivers expect more than horsepower—they expect a quiet, immersive audio experience inside their vehicles. From EVs to luxury sedans, in-cabin acoustic quality has become a competitive differentiator in automotive design. Whether it’s benchmarking a sound system, reducing unwanted noise, or tuning NVH profiles, precise and repeatable measurements are key.
The GRAS PR0003 & PR0004 are a rugged, field-ready 6-microphone array engineered for in-cabin acoustic testing. They are designed to support the growing demand for standardized, repeatable sound field measurements, following methodologies like the AES TC-AA recommendation for in-car acoustic measurements (PR0003). With these GRAS 6-microphone arrays, car manufacturers gain the precision, consistency, and ease-of-use needed to deliver world-class in-cabin audio experiences—today and into the future.
How the GRAS 6-Microphone Array supports your work
The GRAS 6-Microphone Array is a precision-engineered tool specifically designed to meet this challenge. Developed in collaboration with leading automotive audio experts and aligned with the AES TC-AA recommendation, it enables high-resolution spatial characterization of the in-cabin acoustic field. Here’s how it supports your sound optimization journey:
-
True-to-life testing – Accurately captures how passengers perceive sound in real seating positions.
-
Repeatable results – Rigid, fixed-position arrays and optional seat mount ensure consistency across vehicles, prototypes, and test environments.
-
Supports system benchmarking – Ideal for comparing vehicles, audio systems, and tuning setups using standardized protocols.
-
Saves development time – Simplified setup, internal cabling, and single-connector design make it quick and easy to deploy—whether in the lab or on the line
