Successful launch of the Bedrock BTB115 Advanced Talkbox
On 12-14 June, the annual infocomm exhibition took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. We launched our brand new BTB115 Advanced Talkbox. This new TalkBox makes acoustic testing a lot easier through the integration of some new features and functions, such as laser distance measurements, on-the-fly calibration of the electric XLR input, user defined test signals, triple capacitive touch displays and much more.
The jury of the Infocomm Best of Show awards select our new product as winner in the AV technology category! Perhaps even more importantly, we were able to demonstrate the new device to a large number of new and existing Bedrock users, to an almost overwhelming response. Thanks to all who visited our booth!

Introducing e-learning and user forums
Since we started publishing our short explainer videos, many Bedrock users have asked for more in-depth and elaborate tutorials and training materials. We are happy to oblige – please have a look at our brand new e-learning modules! These are part of the Bedrock Community website.
Once you register, you will have access to specific e-learning modules which show you all the details related to working with the SMxx or the AM100. There is a separate module for speech intelligibility measurements.
Also part of the Bedrock community website: brand new user forums! Place questions, remarks and interact with other Bedrock users as well as our developers and support team.
Our new flagship instrument: the Bedrock AM100.
For those of you who knew we were working on this: we're sorry to have kept you waiting! But the final result will not disappoint. The Bedrock AM100 continues the development of easy-to-use and versatile measuring tools, progressing several steps at once. Its design, based on glass and alloy parts, is eye-catching as well as extremely durable. The 4" high-resolution capacitive touch display makes the device extremely easy to work with.
We added many new features, such as wireless connectivity (Bluetooth and Wifi), a second input channel, a headset jack and an internal signal generator. We also upgraded the specs in every possible way, from dynamic range to internal storage space and battery life.
We could talk about the AM100 for hours, but you should really see it for yourself - our distributors and dealers are happy to tell you all about this new product, and so is our
Firmware 3.2 for the AM100 has been released
In our continuous process of improving and expanding the firmware for our meters, we have added new modules and functions to the AM100. As always, the upgrade to firmware 3.2 is free and available to all users.
This update is especially good news for users of the building acoustics modules and users with an interest in environmental acoustics (logging modules). New features include:
- Two new modules for measuring impact noise (L'nT and L'nTw)
- A comprehensive logging module for environmental acoustics, combining 1/3 octave logging with percentiles and all the usual broadband levels
- Several national/local standards for various purposes (e.g. DIN15905-5 for monitoring of live sound levels in Germany).
We also implemented improvements to various modules. Also, as usual, we gladly incorporated feedback from users who pointed out minor glitches and inefficiencies in the user interface. We also fixed some minor bugs and enhanced the stability of the USB interface during transfer of large amounts of data.
From version 3.2 onwards, we will synchronize firmware releases between the AM100 and the SM90/SM50. Firmware 3.2 is currently only available as a beta release for the SM90, but will be formally released in the near future.
The update package for the AM100 can be downloaded here (note that logging in is no longer required). The manual has also been updated.
Your feedback and bug reports are (as usual) gratefully received and used towards future updates.
Firmware 2.4 now released. Once again, more functions added
Firmware version 2.4 for the SM30, SM50 and SM90 has been released. As always, the new firmware adds exciting new features to your instrument - and as always, it's free. Firmware 2.4 adds one completely new module: RTA logging. This module is designed for long-term logging of spectral data. It is also useful to generate spectrograms.
The functionality of the RT60 module was enhanced: it now implements both the interrupted noise method as well as the impulse method (both of which conforming to ISO 3382). This means that you can use either a spherical noise source (spherical loudspeaker) or an impulse generator (clapper, starter gun, etc).
Perhaps the biggest change is found only under the hood: a completely new remote control API was implemented. This means that third party applications (on PC, mac, Raspberry PI or any other platform) can now fully control the SMxx via USB. This enables powerful new applications and setups. Contact us if you would like to use this API; documentation (as well as a C# reference library) are made available upon request.
Overview of the new features in Firmware 2.4:
- RTA logging module added
- Impulse method added too RT60 module
- Powerful remote control API implemented
- Various smaller improvements and bug fixes (e.g. the status of the 48V phantom power is now continuously indicated).
The update package can be downloaded here (note that logging in is no longer required). The manual has also been updated. As always, the update is free for all existing and new owners of the Bedrock SMxx.
