THE PARTICLE VELOCITY SENSOR: CHANGING THE FIELD OF ACOUSTICS

Microflown Technologies was founded in 1998 by Hans Elias de Bree and Alex Koers, building on de Bree's invention of the particle velocity sensor in 1994. The Microflown sensor is a one-of-a-kind acoustic sensor, and the first to directly measure particle velocity as a physical quantity. Over the past two decades, we have garnered customers from around the world and have established ourselves as a crucial component in the study and measurement of sound fields. Currently, Microflown focuses on delivering high-quality acoustic measurement solutions that help to make the world a quieter and more pleasant place.

From University Start-up to Leader in Acoustic visualization

Microflown was founded as an innovative start-up project at the technical University of Twente, situated in the Dutch technology hub. It was here that de Bree completed his PhD and assembled a team of international researchers and engineers. After several years of research and development, a broadband and industrialized particle velocity sensor was finally introduced to the market in 2003, and has been known as the "Microflown" sensor ever since. Following its introduction, the company experienced rapid growth and eventually relocated to its own headquarters in Arnhem.

Innovative solutions for acoustic measurement and analysis

For the field of acoustics, the Microflown sensor represents a major breakthrough, enabling researchers and engineers to gain a greater understanding of complex vibro-acoustic phenomena. The innovation of Microflown extends beyond the sensor itself, as the company has partnered with leading experts in acoustics to develop new measurement techniques. Today, Microflown offers a wide range of solutions that provide comprehensive acoustic measurement and analysis for a variety of applications.

Pioneering Acoustic Measurement Solutions Built on Decades of R&D

Microflown sensor technology powers our measurement solutions, which are the result of extensive R&D by a dedicated team of engineers. We constantly improve and update our technology to meet the latest quality standards. Our sensors are manufactured using clean room technology, and the rest of the assembly process is carried out by experienced employees who follow strict guidelines. All of our hardware development is designed, developed, and manufactured in-house. This commitment to quality and innovation allows us to provide reliable and effective acoustic measurement solutions to our customers.
