NWAA Labs

NWAA Labs is an independent laboratory providing uniform product testing of loudspeakers and materials to the audio and acoustics industry. Unlike any other laboratory in the world, NWAA Labs has the ability to do MACH™ Testing of these items to meet ISO and ASTM standards.

Based just north of Los Angeles, California, the laboratory facilities include a medium-sized anechoic chamber and two reverberation chambers uniquely fitted with the MACH™ Testing system. Our location offers our clients easy access for cost-effective shipping via ground, air or sea.

Led by former NASA design engineer and scientist, Ron Sauro, the NWAA Labs team combines the talents of well respected researchers, acousticians and consultants to provide unmatched state-of-the-art testing and product development support. Well known in the audio and acoustics industry as a consultant and a member of the EASE and EASERA computer software development team, Ron brings over 20 years of field experience to the company.

Since the lab has opened, NWAA Labs has labored to move the science of acoustic testing forward. Because of this commitment to science, we have been the first to implement a method that allows us to do a true 2 pi directivity measurement of ceiling and wall speakers.This drive has also allowed us to offer updated scattering coefficient measurements that have improved accuracy.
