About us

Anechoic chambers, semi-anechoic chambers, hemi-anechoic chambers, quiet rooms, acoustic testing rooms… all these names (and more) are used to refer to a unique type of noise measurement facility. The most common term used by experts in the field is “semi-anechoic chamber” (and also “hemi-anechoic chamber”, which is used in the relevant ISO standards). A semi-anechoic chamber is used as a benchmark environment for measuring acoustic parameters. Ten years ago, the team at the Centre for Advanced and Innovative Technologies (CAIT) began to design these chambers and build them in conjunction with its partners. It soon became clear that the planning and construction of semi-anechoic chambers is a truly multi-disciplinary process, requiring expertise in several different fields. As one might expect, the design process requires a thorough knowledge of acoustics. But it also requires expertise in many other fields – structural engineering, electrical engineering, automation, signal measurement, vibration diagnostics, logistics, occupational safety, fire safety, IT, economics and project management.

Over several years the CAIT built up a team of experts for this purpose – both employees of the CAIT and external contractors. The team members have a wealth of experience in the above-listed fields, and they apply their knowledge and expertise throughout the entire process – from the pre-planning stage to the design, construction and subsequent use of the semi-anechoic chambers. As a team we are now able to deliver a wide range of solutions – not only in the field of acoustics, but also in other types of testing.

The Experimental Noise and Climate Laboratory is part of the Centre for Advanced and Innovative Technologies (CAIT) at the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava. The CAIT’s core mission is to enable knowledge transfer from university-based research to industry – and this is precisely what we are doing with our semi-anechoic chambers. The VŠB-Technical University is a renowned brand of quality in the technical sciences and a guarantee that even the most demanding projects will be successfully completed.
