Summary
A job that measures and evaluates the acoustic characteristics of manufactured musical instruments to confirm if they meet quality standards.
Description
Musical Instrument Acoustic Testers target instruments such as pianos, guitars, and wind instruments that have completed the manufacturing process. They conduct acoustic measurements in anechoic chambers or inspection rooms, analyzing frequency characteristics, reverberation time, harmonic components, sound pressure levels, etc. They determine whether the measurement results fall within the tolerances of the design or standards. If not suitable, they collaborate with the adjustment department to investigate causes and propose improvements. They also handle data aggregation, report creation, and maintenance of measurement equipment.
Future Outlook
As demand for high value-added musical instruments increases, the importance of precise acoustic inspections will grow. Demand is expected to rise for personnel skilled in digital signal processing and automation technologies.
