[Bologna, June 24rd 2023] - dBTechnologies, a leading Italian company in the design and manufacture of professional audio systems, and Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), a leading global space company, are proud to announce their new partnership in the application of a system based on Direct Field Acoustic Noise (DFAN) technology for testing acoustic qualification levels of space products, an alternative technology to the traditional standard consisting of using a reverberant acoustic chamber.

Specifically, within the partnership, dBTechnologies provides everything that makes up the DFAN acoustic field generation system (including its VIO L212 line array and VIO S218 subwoofer products), which is used to qualify "on the fly" what Thales Alenia Space produces in the space field, at the Rome site.

This test represents a fundamental step within a space product's development and production phase; it normally precedes delivery at the launch base and consists of subjecting the satellite to an acoustic field equal to that generated in the carrier rocket during the launch phase: all this to verify its structural response and, thus, its ability to "survive" going into orbit.

dBTechnologies' speakers have been expressly customized, through firmware modifications and hardware adaptations (of the accessory part), to fully adhere to the requirements developed by Thales Alenia Space specialists.

"We are really excited to be part of a project that exceeds our imagination. Although our contribution may seem small, we know we play a valuable role. We are very proud to be part of something truly invaluable." Claudio Ottani, Director of Research and Development at dBTechnologies, said, "Working with the professionals at Thales Alenia Space has been an extraordinary experience. We are passionate about our respective fields and are honored to collaborate with such dedicated people."

Vincenzo Di Pietro, a technical contact for the DFAN project for the Satellite Integration Center in Rome, expressed, on behalf of all the experts involved, satisfaction with the partnership, saying, "We are happy with this collaboration with dBTechnologies, a dazzling Italian company that is a leader in its field. In the professionals of dBTechnologies, we have found, in addition to remarkable competence and professionalism, also, above all, incredible enthusiasm and an immense passion for their work. The common approach to innovation, curiosity, passion, and courage to experiment with new technologies immediately united us with dBTechnologies."

The collaboration between dBTechnologies and Thales Alenia Space represents an important opportunity for the Italian manufacturing and space industry.

It demonstrates the ability of dBTechnologies loudspeaker systems, designed for live concerts, to adapt to completely different and challenging needs such as those required by satellite testing and still excel in terms of performance.

The collaboration between these two Italian companies is a great testament to how experience, passion, and expertise in completely different and seemingly distant fields can be brought together for mutual innovation and growth.
