Introduction

Your RadioShack Sound Level Meter is
an extremely versatile device for measur-
ing sound intensity in just about any
acoustic environment — loud or soft; high-
pitched, low-pitched, or broad-band; inter-
mittent or continuous. You can use it to
measure noise levels in factories, schools,
offices, and airports, or to check acoustics
of studios, auditoriums, and home theater
installations.
Your meter features a large, easy-to-read
indicator for taking quick measurements.
The meter uses a 9V battery (not sup-
plied) which allows you to use it any-
where.
The meter's other features include:
Seven Sound-level Ranges — allow
measurements form 50–126 dB (refer-
enced to 0.0002 μbar).
A And C Weightings — lets you check
compliance with safety regulations and
make an acoustic analysis.
Slow And Fast Response Settings — let
you check peak and average noise levels.
