REAL TIME ANALYSER

INSTRUCTION

MANUAL

INSTRUMENT

SOFTWARE

VERSION

1.2

A sound level meter with built-in real

time analyser capabilities. Parallel

octave filters are standard (optional

in some markets), but the impressive

list of optional extensions include

sound power calculations, third

octave filters and statistics in every

frequency band, multispectrum and

reverberation time measurements.

The instrument logs level vs. time

(optional) and when it is equipped

with multiple time constants and

the enhanced profile extension, a

multitude of functions is logged si-

multaneously. The 120 dB dynamic

range eliminates the need for range

setting. A large memory and high-

speed data transfer rates complete

our user-friendliest solution to date.
