Brüel & Kjær Sound & Vibration Measurement A/S, a subsidiary of Spectris, has released a high-frequency testing HATS for speech and sound, well suited for use in confined areas. Building on the success of its high-frequency head and torso simulator type 5128, Brüel & Kjær’s new tabletop version has been developed to support customers testing headphones on their work desk or in small anechoic chambers.

  Spectris has announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire VI-grade, as part of its continuing expansion into PLM and into ADAS vehicle development, testing, and simulation. The acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant merger clearance authorities.
