Coulbourn Instruments' Animal Acoustic Startle System is comprised of sound attenuating chambers, each of which will accommodate up to four animal holders and load-cell response sensing platforms, a LabLinc V-series interface with audio stimulus synthesis and response signal conditioning, and a high-power acoustic pulse amplifier. Total Audio Throughput Capability is the most robust in the industry insuring that you can perform any protocol. The sound output of the startle audio transducer is up to 128dB with either 20Hz to 20 KHz white noise or with program selectable tone frequencies from 10 Hz to 25.5 KHz. There is minimal animal handling. They are simply placed in a holder and then the holder is placed on the response sensor platform in the chamber.
