Automated angular measurements

The controller connects the turntable mechanism, a DC geared motor with encoder and the measurement computer. Defined angular positions can be approached repeatedly, allowing directivity and polar measurements to be carried out systematically.

  • ready-to-use control assembly
  • programmed processor
  • for DC geared motors with encoders
  • for automated loudspeaker turntables
  • reproducible positioning for angular measurements
  • 12 V power supply not included

Use in the measurement setup

The module is suitable for custom turntable designs and for existing setups that are to be equipped with a suitable electronic positioning controller. The turntable mechanism, motor and power supply are selected to suit the individual project.

Recommended motors

DC geared motors with encoders are required for the build. The product page names the following motor types, among others, as guidance:

  • Pololu 150:1 Metal Gearmotor 37D, 12 V, with 64 CPR encoder
  • Phidgets 12 V / 17.3 kg·cm / 18 RPM, 139:1 DC geared motor with a separately available encoder for a 4 mm motor shaft

Before purchasing a motor, check the mechanical gearing, encoder resolution, torque, power supply and compatibility with your own turntable.

Scope of supply and notes

  • ARTA turntable control module
  • fully assembled, ready-to-use unit
  • programmed processor
  • without 12 V power supply
  • motor and mechanical turntable components not included
