RS PRO DT-8852 Datalogging Sound Level Meter, 30dB to 130dB, 8kHz max

Introducing the RS PRO RS-8852 Sound Level Meter with Datalogger. This high-quality sound level meter allows for easy environmental noise measurement for noise and quality management. The built-in datalogger allows easy transfer and analysis of data at a later stage by using a USB cable and conforms to IEC61672-1 Class 2 standards. It is a fantastic noise measurement unit for accurate and high-quality sound measurements with a dynamic range from 30 dB to 130 dB. The frequency weighting from A to C helps manage sound levels for the human ear even when working in high decibel or frequency environments and it is suitable for use on a wide range of noise measuring applications.

A sound level meter is used for acoustic measurements. It is commonly a hand-held instrument with a microphone. The diaphragm of the microphone responds to changes in air pressure caused by sound waves. That is why the instrument is sometimes referred to as a Sound Pressure Level Meter. The decibel sound meter is an instrument used to measure the ambient sound level, such as sound level around factories, workshops, schools, residential, offices, road, audio, etc. It also can be appropriate for noise engineering, product quality control, health prevention, and treatment, etc. Sound level meters are most commonly used for:

• Sound level monitoring


• Addressing health issues


• Addressing safety issues


• Industrial environments


• Office environments

A sound level meter works by using a diaphragm inside the microphone that detects changes in air pressure caused by sound waves.
