SV-1 Voice Key is a device designed specifically for experiments requiring a vocal response. SV-1 monitors the participant’s voice level at all times, and when the level rises above a user-specified threshold, it reports this to the computer. SV-1 is powered by an 18 MHz microprocessor and is a 100% digital device.

Libraries |
The commands that SV-1 accepts are public. Cedrus publishes and maintains Python and C++ code libraries. Matlab support can also be found on the Internet. |
Installation
SV-1 uses an RS-232 serial port. A free USB-to-serial port adapter is included with every purchase. The adapter requires the installation of a USB driver.
See SV-1 Support Notes
Frequency Response
The analog frequency response is fairly flat over the range of 50Hz to 10kHz. That signal is rectified and filtered and the resulting envelope is used to trigger SV-1.
The majority of the low frequency response is determined by the delay setting, e.g. 1kHz signal has a period of 1ms, yet it needs to be relatively immune to ‘P’ and ‘B’ sounds.
