- • Max-Hold function captures peak levels reliably and quickly
- • RS232 interface enables data logging and analysis for serious users
CONS
- • Accuracy +/- 1.5 dB is adequate, but not professional-grade certified
- • Limited frequency response above 8 kHz restricts high-frequency measurements
- • DC output is a niche feature with limited practical application

Frequently Asked Questions
It allows for automated logging and more complex analysis if you use the optional software, but requires some technical know-how.
It can measure music playback, but the A-weighting will affect perceived loudness; C-weighting is more accurate for overall level.
Spherical offers a more diffuse sound field measurement, less susceptible to directional microphone artifacts – ideal for general room acoustics assessment.
