ETS-Lindgren's Predictable Field Enclosures are designed to provide acoustical and statistical energy analysis, to optimize the engineering and design requirements needed for an end-product application.

ETS-Lindgren's Predictable Field Enclosures are designed to provide acoustic and statistical energy analysis, to optimize the engineering and design requirements needed for noise control of an end-product application.

To approximate the sound field found in a hemi-anechoic chamber without the use of wedges, the walls and ceiling in a predictable field enclosure are manufactured with several inches of sound absorbing material.

Predictable field enclosures provide an engineering or survey-grade sound field (dependent on enclosure size), for sound power testing. While precision-grade sound power testing requires a hemi or full anechoic chamber, a predictable field enclosure provides an economical solution for engineering or survey grade tests allowed by many standards.

This acoustic chamber or enclosure is used primarily for design engineering and product development. Predictable field enclosures are also used for sound intensity testing, where their primary function is to control ambient noise and increase measurement accuracy by reducing reflections.

Predictable field enclosures can be installed with or without acoustical floors, however for maximum sound isolation performance, an isolated floor system should be used.
