Sorama CAM1K
A large array acoustic camera for high‑resolution sound insight
What is the
Sorama CAM1K?
The Sorama CAM 1K is a high‑resolution acoustic camera built for advanced engineering analysis where subtle sound sources and complex interactions must be resolved clearly.
Its large microphone array enables teams to visualize sound fields with fine spatial detail, making it possible to distinguish closely spaced sources and study how sound propagates across materials, structures, and assemblies.
Ultra‑fine detail
High‑density array reveals subtle sources and small differences that other cameras can miss.
Localization precision
Distinguish very close sound sources with detail for root‑cause insight.
Sound Behavior
Understand how sound originates, spreads, and interacts with materials.
Design insights
The Sorama CAM1K allows you to make informed and faster product decisions.
How does the Sorama CAM1K work?
During a measurement session, the Sorama CAM 1K captures acoustic data while connected to the Sorama Portal, which is used for setup, recording, and analysis.
The recorded sound field is visualized as a detailed acoustic map within the Portal, allowing engineers to explore where sound is generated and how it propagates across the measurement area. Depending on distance and analysis goals, the system supports both surface‑level studies and far‑field localization, providing flexible insight for different engineering scenarios.
Measurements are captured first and analyzed afterward, enabling thorough, repeatable evaluation rather than quick field inspection.
Where is it used?
The Sorama CAM 1K is used in environments where understanding complex sound behavior is essential to product quality and performance.

Industrial operations
To perform diagnostics, verifying product performance, or running end‑of‑line checks. Ideal for production lines, test stations, and engineering areas where detailed sound behaviour supports quality and reliability.
Limitations
The Sorama CAM1K provides ultra‑fine acoustic imaging for engineering measurement sessions via the Sorama Portal.
Performance depends on proper setup, stable mounting, suitable distance and clear line‑of‑sight. The Sorama CAM1K captures a measurement first and is then analyzed in the Portal, it is not a live, standalone inspection tool.
The Sorama CAM1K is not:
-
A handheld device, it requires a cabled connection for power.
-
A real‑time system, it records and then analyzes it the Sorama Portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Sorama CAM1K detect low-frequency noise problems?
Yes. The Sorama CAM1K supports near-field acoustic holography from 25 Hz. This helps engineers reveal vibration-driven noise sources that are difficult to resolve with standard beamforming alone.
What makes the Sorama CAM1K different from smaller acoustic cameras?
The Sorama CAM1K uses a 1024-microphone array and a 64 × 64 cm measurement surface. This allows it to capture larger areas in one measurement and separate multiple sound sources with higher spatial detail.
Is the Sorama CAM1K suitable for large products or test objects?
Yes. The large microphone array makes it well suited for measuring bigger surfaces such as appliances, machinery, vehicles, or industrial components without stitching multiple scans together.
How does the Sorama CAM1K help during product development?
The Sorama CAM1K visualizes where sound originates on a product. Engineers can compare prototypes, identify root causes faster, and make design decisions based on clear visual evidence.
Does the Sorama CAM1K work with measurement and analysis software?
Yes. The Sorama CAM1K connects with Sorama Portal, where teams can stream measurements, record data, analyze sound maps, and share results across development teams.
