Klippel Near Field Scanner: Enhancing Arendal Sound’s Speaker Engineering

At Arendal Sound, precision and performance are at the heart of every loudspeaker and subwoofer we design. To push the boundaries of accuracy and engineering, we utilize advanced tools, and one of the most powerful among them is the Klippel Near Field Scanner (NFS).

What Is the Klippel NFS?

The Klippel NFS is a state-of-the-art acoustic measurement system that allows us to scan a speaker in 3D space, capturing highly detailed information about its sound radiation from all angles. Unlike traditional measurements, which are often influenced by room acoustics and positioning, the NFS delivers precise, anechoic-like data in any environment.

Key Benefits

• Accurate 3D Acoustic Mapping
  The NFS builds a full spherical radiation map of our loudspeakers and subwoofers, giving us a complete understanding of how sound behaves at every frequency and angle.

• Data-Driven Optimization
  With this level of detail, we can fine-tune crossover networks, driver alignment, and cabinet design with unmatched confidence, resulting in smoother frequency response and better off-axis performance.

• Consistent Real-World Performance
  By simulating in-room behavior using highly accurate anechoic data, we can ensure that what you hear at home closely matches our design intent.

• Shorter Development Cycles, Better Products
  The Klippel NFS streamlines our R&D process, allowing for faster iteration, fewer prototypes, and ultimately, better sounding products that reach you sooner.

Why It Matters for You

At Arendal Sound, we believe performance should be proven, not just promised. That’s why we’ve invested in the Klippel Near Field Scanner, making us one of only a handful of companies in the EU to take this step. This advanced tool allows us to measure our speakers with scientific precision, capturing exactly how they perform in real-world conditions.

Whether you’re listening on-axis or off, in a treated room or your everyday living space, our products deliver exceptional clarity and consistency. And because we rely on hard data, not marketing gimmicks, you can trust that what we claim is backed by truth. This investment is a reflection of our commitment to honesty, transparency, and delivering real performance you can hear.
