Sound Quality Representation and Evaluation Studio

The acoustics properties of a product have a considerable influence on the satisfaction and thus, the purchase decision of the customers. Listening tests are an important basis for determining the optimal acoustics image of a product, for performing benchmark tests or for comparing different alternatives.

With SQuare, an intuitive, quick and uncomplicated realization of listening tests is possible. Besides the classical listening tests SQuare also offers the "interactive mode" for the sound presentation during group discussions and brainstorming. The SQuare software can be flexibly combined with hardware components from HEAD acoustics. So you can configure a system that meets your specific requirements.
