Real-time 1/1, 1/3 Octave Analysis Software
DS-0323
-
This software analyzes the 1/1 and 1/3 octave bands for 2 - 32 channels (2 - 64 channels when two units are connected ) in real-time from 0.5 to 20 kHz. The filter is compatible with the IEC, JIS, and ANSI standards. The equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level (Laeq) and the single-shot sound exposure level (Lae) are calculated simultaneously by setting measurement time. Variations in level (time series) for each band can be saved for up to 2,000 points.

Sound Level Indicators
-
A sound level meter is a measuring instrument used to assess noise or sound levels by measuring sound pressure. Often referred to as a sound pressure level (SPL) meter, decibel (dB) meter, noise meter or noise dosimeter, a sound level meter uses a microphone to capture sound. The sound is then evaluated within the sound level meter and acoustic measurement values are shown on the display of the sound level meter. The most common unit of acoustic measurement for sound is the decibel (dB); however, some sound level meter devices also determine the equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) and other acoustic parameters. With a portable sound level meter, industrial hygiene and workplace safety professionals can measure sound levels in multiple locations to ensure environmental conditions fall within recommended exposure limits (RELs). Some sound level meter devices can be permanently installed for continuous monitoring of sound levels at a work or job site.An important attribute to consider when searching for a suitable sound level meter is its type or class. The type or class of a sound level meter defines the device's accuracy as per American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) guidelines. Typically, "type" is the grade according to the ANSI S1.4 standard, whereas "class" is the grade according to the IEC 61672 standard. There are two types or classes assigned to sound level meters: type 1 / class 1 or type 2 / class 2. For assessing noise in basic industrial, commercial, educational, recreational or residential applications, a type 2 / class 2 sound level meter usually will suffice. For precision-grade assessments often made in a laboratory, a type 1 / class 1 sound level meter primarily is used. PCE sound level meter products are lightweight, easy-to-use and manufactured in accordance with the highest industrial standards.

Sound Level Calibrators
-
PeakTech Prüf- und Messtechnik GmbH
For sound level measurements in extreme conditions, at high altitudes or high demands on the accuracy of the measurement results, sound level meters should be checked prior to the measurement with a sound level calibrator. Also for calibration and verification of microphones in audio technology, you need a sound level calibrator, which is designed to produce several sound pressure levels at a fixed frequency characteristic. This calibrator has two switchable calibration steps.

In keeping with our goal of constant improvement, we have upgraded our BK3011 MEMS mic tester! The BK3011C is more modular, easier to connect and with the new Test Shop upgrade, easier to use. But the basic features are still the same. Then BK3011C enables you to check mic characteristices over a frequency range using a stable, constant SPL sweep. It still produces both graphs and numerical data but now will automatically classify both PASSing and FAILing DUT's so you can keep track of quality issues and trends.
