Introduction - Radio Shack Sound Level Meter Owner's Manual

Introduction

Your RadioShack Sound Level Meter is
an extremely versatile device for measur-
ing sound intensity in just about an acous-
tic environment — loud or soft; high-
pitched, low-pitched, or broad-band; inter-
mittent or continuous. Your meter features
a large, easy-to-read indicator for taking
quick measurements. The meter uses a
9V battery (not supplied) which allows you
to use it anywhere.
Note: This meter should be used for
home/hobbyist use only. This meter does
not meet the requirements set forth by the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), Standard S1.4.
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.
