SOUND MEASUREMENT AAC is one of very few silencer manufacturers to employ the proper equipment for test<strong>in</strong>g the effectiveness<br />
of silencer designs. All sound level data published by AAC is gathered us<strong>in</strong>g a B&K 3052-A-030 Pulse System set on “A” weighted and peak hold, with a<br />
B&K 2670 ¼-<strong>in</strong>ch microphone. Test conditions are outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> MIL-STD-1474D.(1) For more <strong>in</strong>formation on sound test<strong>in</strong>g procedures, refer to Al Paulson’s<br />
scholarly work, “Silencer History and Performance Volumes 1(2)&2(3).<br />
WHY WE CHOOSE TO PUBLISH PERFORMANCE DATA<br />
We publish sound reduction numbers as a service to our customer base, especially the first time buyer. When you run across a manufacturer that offers<br />
a “general” estimation of performance or posts no performance data at all, you have to ask yourself what they’re hid<strong>in</strong>g. AAC silencers enter service with<br />
