Nady Systems introduced 2 new sound pressure level (SPL) meters--the digital DSM-1 and the analog ASM-2. Both units provide a full array of professional sound measurement features for testing and evaluation in a broad range of applications.
The DSM-1 offers 2-level ranges of measurement between 30dB and 130dB @ 32Hz -- 8KHz. Features include: Easy-to-read 4-digit LCD display with selectable permanent backlight; selectable A or C weighting and Fast or Slow response; maximum Hold selector with Hold button to capture input at any time; alarm indicating that input is above range; internal battery tester; built-in calibrated, linear omnidirectional 1/2" electret condenser microphone; and treaded insert to attach to optional SMT-3 tripod or standard camera tripod. The DSM-1 uses a 9VDC alkaline battery with up to 50 hours of battery life and it comes with a foam windscreen and sturdy vinyl carrying case.
The ASM-2 features 7 sound-level ranges which provide measurements from 50 -- 126 dB. A and C weightings allow you to check compliance with safety regulations and perform proper acoustic analysis. Other features include: Slow and fast response settings to check peak and average noise levels; built-in battery condition indicator; phono-type output jack for connection to home theater or test equipment; and threaded insert which enables attachment to a camera tripod for increased accuracy.
Both the DSM-1 and ASM-2 began shipping in June 2005.
