Dr. Walber has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Technological University with a concentration in Dynamic Systems and Acoustics. He has over 10 years' experience with experimental vibrations, acoustics, and dynamic measurements. His primary focus is in microphone calibration, specialty sensor design, precision measurement methods, and field experimentation in dynamics and acoustics. He sits as chair on ASA S1 (Acoustics)/WG1 (Measurement Microphones), as a liaison from ASA to IEC TC29 (Electroacoustics), and voting member of IEC TC29/WG5 (Measurement Microphones).
Please join us for our online webinar "Basics of Acoustics Calibration" by Chad Walber on February 21st, 2019 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm EST.
In this webinar, we will discuss why single point microphone sensitivity should be performed at the beginning and end of every experiment. Due to the design of condenser microphones, large changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity will have an effect on the sensitivity of a microphone. The best practices in the use of precision acoustic calibrators is discussed, including proper calibration techniques, expected calibration accuracy, and methods of calibration improvement.
