Industry Headphone Test QC System
FINE QC L/R Headphone QC Test System including Noise Cancel
Highly Accurate, Fast and Easy to Use!
FINE QC Industry Headphone Test QC System
FINE QC Industry Headphone Test QC System is a professional audio quality control solution developed specifically for headphone, earphone and micro-speaker testing in both laboratory and end-of-line production environments.
Designed by loudspeaker engineers for audio manufacturers, the system delivers fast, highly accurate and fully automated testing for headphone performance, distortion detection, and acoustic quality verification.
The system is optimised for production environments where speed, reliability, and repeatability are critical, ensuring consistent product quality while reducing test time and operator dependency.
Fast and Accurate Headphone Quality Control Testing
FINE QC Headphone Test QC System enables complete headphone, earphone and micro-speaker testing in extremely short cycle times, making it ideal for high-volume production environments.
A full test sequence, including left/right channel verification, distortion analysis, and acoustic quality checks, can be completed in under 5 seconds.
This allows manufacturers to significantly increase throughput while maintaining strict quality standards.
Advanced Rub & Buzz Detection (FINEBuzz Technology)
FINE QC includes the industry-leading FINEBuzz Rub & Buzz detection system, specifically adapted for headphone and earphone testing.
This advanced algorithm identifies unwanted mechanical distortion, diaphragm issues, and assembly defects with extremely high sensitivity and repeatability.
It replaces subjective listening tests with objective, repeatable measurement-based detection.
Noise Cancelling Headphone Testing (Passive and Active Modes)
The system supports full testing of noise cancelling headphones, including both passive and active noise reduction modes.
Engineers can validate acoustic performance under real operating conditions, ensuring correct system behaviour across different listening modes and device states.
End-of-Line and Laboratory Testing Integration
The system supports full testing of noise cancelling headphones, including both passive and active noise reduction modes.
Engineers can validate acoustic performance under real operating conditions, ensuring correct system behaviour across different listening modes and device states.
To measure and test during the design and development process, FINE R+D should be used.
High-Speed Production Testing for Headphones and Earphones
The Loudspeaker QC Software is optimised for fast production environments where speed and reliability are essential. Key capabilities include:
Ultra-fast test cycles
Automated pass/fail classification
Repeatable measurement conditions
Minimal operator interaction
This reduces production bottlenecks while maintaining strict acoustic quality standards in the final step of the Loudspeaker Design Workflow.
Trusted by Leading Audio Manufacturers
Our FINE QC Loudspeaker and Audio QC System is used by market leading sound companies for their sound project,
Bravox, JL Audio (Garmin), Kygo Life and Sinar Baja, to name but a few.
FINE QC tests
FINE QC tests Left & Right SPL + with individual limits.
Left-Right difference is tested with defined limits.
Rub & Buzz measured with limits for Left and Right.
SPL sensitivity and Polarity measured for Left and Right.
Bluetooth headphones can be tested using automatic delay.
Noise Cancel tests
The test cycle can now include Noise Cancel Test, both passive and active. The result is presented as vertical 1/3 octave colums.
The test sequence will first show passive Noise Cancel, followed by the active Noise Cancel results. Each step can be repeated if necessary.
A USB barcode reader may read the serial number/starting the test.
In-Ear Headphone tests
ICP (CCP) microphones connects directly to the hardware 2/3 without separate microphone amplifiers.
