Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a dBAir from Castle Group Ltd.
Your new Sound Level meter is at the forefront of design and technology yet has been
developed for seamless intuitive operation without the unnecessary complexity of
traditional sound level meters.
It boasts a high resolution large colour LCD with simple and clear visual data
representation, has advanced data recording capabilities which records your data to
the large internal memory available at your disposal.
Equipped with a simple plug in microphone pre-amplifier, carry strap and a responsive
membrane keypad all housed in an elegant, perfectly sized, balanced and practical case
which has been developed specifically with this in mind.
Every model of the dBAir sound level meter has inbuilt Wi-Fi allowing you to automatically
upload your recordings to our simple to use in-browser software at
TheCastleCloud.com. Your data here is secure, always available and backed up
automatically.
Equally, the dBAir can also be connected to The Castle Cloud through a PC app called
the Castle Gateway, which enables you to upload your recordings via your PC using the
included Micro USB Cable and your PC's internet connection. You can also update your
instruments software as and when required. An alert in The Castle Cloud will inform you
when updates are available.
Not only that, your dBAir sound level meter can act as a USB drive allowing you access
to your saved recordings and transfer the standard format .csv recorded files so you
can open them in your favourite spread sheet application and create your own reports.
Welcome to the new era in sound level measurement.
