SVAN 971 Sound Level Meter

| SVAN 971 : Sound Level Meter - Class 1 |
|---|
The SVAN 971 is a Class 1 sound level meter in accordance to IEC 61672 and is available for hire now.
The instrument is extremely small but offers unprecedented state of the art technology. The instrument’s user interface makes both configuration and measurement easier than ever before. For those who do not need to alter the measurement settings, the SVAN 971 has an extremely simple operational mode with only Start/Stop controls. This means that the SVAN 971 is the ideal choice for many applications including industrial noise measurement for health and safety, short term environmental noise monitoring and general noise measurements for acoustic consultants or technical engineers.
The instrument is easily calibrated in the field using an acoustic calibrator as the calibration begins automatically when the microphone is inserted into the calibrator.
The instrument also includes a built-in vibration sensor that provides information about vibrations that could influence the measurements.
The SVAN 971 measures broad-band results with all the necessary weighting filters as well as 1/1 octave or 1/3 octave band filters.
It also offers time-history logging providing broad-band results and spectra with adjustable logging steps.
The audio events recording function works together with sound level meter mode.
The data are stored on a microSD card and can be easily downloaded to a PC using the Supervisor software.

Sound level meters and particularly microphones are very susceptible to damp, so should not be used outside, unless protected.
