SVAN 973 Sound Level Meter
-
SV 973 Sound Level Meter is CLASS 2 instrument in accordance to IEC 61672.
-
Sound exposure meter mode with measurement range up to 141 dB Peak.
-
Wide frequency range up to 20 kHz in sound level meter mode.
-
Microphone in MEMS technology with lifetime warranty.
-
Automatic calibration starts the calibration and saves the calibration data together with the measurement file, both before and after measurement.
-
The OLED display is a full color and high contrast so it can be used in a sunlight or even at night. The OLED technology doesn’t use back-light giving SV 973 more battery operating time. The size of display is a perfect compromise between power savings and visibility.
-
The time history logging of results such as Leq, Max, Min and Peak is saved on built-in 8 GB memory.
-
The SV 973 can perform real-time frequency analysis in 1/1 octave and 1/3 octave bands (optional).
-
Optional Audio recording works during measurement and is logged in parallel to the time history.
-
Voice comments before or after the measurements allow easy identification of data files.
-
The USB connector can be used for communication with PC software as well as for powering the instrument from an external battery or PC.
SV 973 combines Class 2 sound level meter and sound exposure meter in one device. The meter has been designed in accordance to IEC 61672 and offers a wide frequency range up to 20 kHz (in the sound level meter mode). The unique feature of the SV 973 is the microphone in MEMS technology with a lifetime warranty.
The meter’s measurement range from 25 to 126 dB enables its use in industrial and environmental noise measurements. For measurements of noise at work, the dedicated sound exposure meter function shifts the dynamic measuring range of sound level meter to 141 dB Peak.
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 SV 973 can measure broad-band results with all the necessary weighting filters as well as 1/1 octave or 1/3 octave band filters. Audio events recording function works together with sound level meter mode. The data are stored on built-in 8 GB memory and can be easily downloaded to a PC using the Supervisor or SVANPC++ software.
