Schauenburg Systems manufactures and supplies the Optimus+ Green, an innovative handheld sound level meter, also known as a decibel meter, sound decibel meter, sound meter, or noise level meter.
Our sound decibel meter device is built for the precise and reliable measurement of environmental and workplace noise. This decibel meter device ensures that noise measurement data is accurate and compliant with industry standards, making it an essential tool for effective noise monitoring.
Our Optimus+ Green sound level meter device is versatile, giving you the option to enhance its functionality through add-on accessories like the Outdoor Measurement Kit and the GPS module, allowing for an even more comprehensive noise assessment across various environments.
A sound level meter is an essential tool for measuring and monitoring sound levels in various environments. Sound level meters protect people from several potential hazards and issues related to excessive noise. They offer hearing protection to avoid noise-induced hearing loss because prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can lead to permanent hearing damage.
Constant exposure to loud noise can cause stress and fatigue. Monitoring sound levels helps create quieter environments, which contributes to better overall health and well-being. It also enhances occupational safety for people working in spaces with loud machinery or equipment. Noise levels need to be monitored to ensure they do not exceed safe thresholds, helping protect workers from hearing loss.
A sound level meter is a device used to measure the intensity of sound in an environment. It quantifies sound levels in decibels (dB), a logarithmic unit that expresses the ratio of a sound’s pressure to a reference pressure (usually the threshold of hearing).
Sound level meters have a microphone that picks up sound and converts it into an electrical signal. This signal is processed to provide a reading of the sound level. These decibel meters are commonly used in various fields, including environmental noise assessment, workplace noise monitoring, audio system testing, and in research settings to ensure sound levels are within safe or acceptable limits.
There is no difference between a sound meter level and a decibel meter. A sound meter level and a decibel meter are essentially the same thing. Both terms refer to devices that measure the intensity of sound, typically in decibels (dB).
The current international standard for sound level meters is IEC 61672-1:2013. This standard is used to define the performance, accuracy and testing requirements for sound level meters. Compliance ensures that the decibel meter can reliably measure sound levels for regulatory and professional purposes.
Sound level meter calibration is the process of adjusting and verifying the accuracy of a sound level meter to ensure that it provides accurate and reliable noise measurements. Calibrating a decibel meter usually involves comparing the device’s readings against a known reference level, often generated by a calibrator, to check and adjust the device’s accuracy.
The Optimus+ Green environmental decibel meter captures the full range of sound parameters simultaneously, ensuring that no other instrument is needed for thorough noise monitoring. All Optimus+ Green meters are integrating data logging instruments, providing crucial noise data such as sound pressure level (SPL), Leq, Peak, and TWA/Dose.
Optional features include 1:1 and/or 1:3 octave band filters, tonal noise detection, Ln values, and on-screen NR/NC curves. Built to UK, EU, and international standards, the Optimus+ Green can be used globally and is compatible with a range of outdoor measuring kits, making it the ideal tool for all your environmental noise monitoring needs.
