IAC supplies Microsoft R&D facility in Redmond, WA
 IAC America, leader in the design and manufacture of anechoic chambers for industry, has successfully supplied four anechoic chambers to Microsoft for their main R&D facility in Redmond, WA.
IAC designed, manufactured, delivered, installed, tested and certified two custom 250 Hz. Full-Anechoic Chambers and two custom Mini-Anechoic Chambers for the facility. IAC’s design and engineering team worked closely with Microsoft engineers in order to design the test chambers to meet all their specifications and end user requirements.
 The contract presented unique challenges in terms of design and engineering and in project management and logistics. One set of chambers (one large and one mini chamber) had to be delivered, installed and certified at Redmond, WA and the other set immediately after that at their manufacturing facility in China.
If this multi-location installation against an aggressive timeframe was not enough of a challenge, each chamber also had to be fitted with several custom components and details. The large chambers contained adjustable height test object tables, wire mesh wedge protection on the doors and custom cut-outs for fire/safety equipment. On the other hand, the mini chambers – rather than being fully factory-assembled as they would normally be, had to be field-assembled because of the limited access points. These mini chambers were also supplied with a special sliding aluminum grating test object table.
 IAC’s design/engineering, project management and production teams were up to the challenge. They supplied the chambers not only meeting all Microsoft’s testing needs but also just ahead of schedule!
The free-field properties of the chambers were verified by a standard draw away test conducted in complete accordance with the requirements of ISO 3745 and the noise reduction properties of the chamber were verified in full accordance with the applicable sections of ASTM E336. The anechoic test chamber was certified to meet all specified acoustic requirements. Both sets of chambers delivered near identical acoustic performance. Satisfaction and performance guaranteed!
IAC worked with their Technical Sales Rep, Olympic Engineered Sales to complete this successful project.
