A sound level meter is used to accurately measure the intensity of a sound. This is measured in decibels, and the way it works is fairly complex. The sound is picked up by a built-in microphone, and an electronic system converts the sound into a signal. That signal is then analyzed to give you an easy-to-read sound level report. It’s not limited to a basic reading of decibels, though. It can measure specific parts of a sound, such as the amount of pressure or SPL it’s giving off. These come in analog and digital formats. Similarly, Lux meters are offered in different formats and are often used in the same industries.
Different sound meters are made for different applications. The music industry uses special systems when recording or playing live shows to create an enjoyable experience, industrial settings use them to determine when and where safety PPE is used, and more.
Sound level meters are used in a lot of different industries. Beyond the entertainment industry, they’re also commonly used in construction, industrial applications, and various other workplaces for safety and compliance purposes. This is done to keep from being a nuisance to the community or damaging the hearing of employees.
Key factors to look at when choosing a sound level meter include accuracy, frequency rating for A, C, and Z types, and the measurement range of the device. It also helps to choose one that comes pre-calibrated and is easy to calibrate on your own, as well as one that has a good digital display for easy use.
