Using advanced AI algorithms, SvanNET analyzes audio recordings in real time, classifies detected sounds, and provides confidence levels for each result. This eliminates the need for manual listening, saving time and delivering deeper insights into environmental noise events.
Real-time classification of environmental noise sources
Confidence levels for each detected sound
Dominant sound class detection with additional secondary classes for more context
Seamless integration into monitoring projects worldwide
Improved reliability for day-to-day environmental monitoring
Over 150 active users tested the AI functionality
More than 20% of SvanNET projects adopted it during Beta
Feedback from the community enhanced accuracy, classification breadth, and reliability
Svantek North America is pleased to announce Brian MacMillan as our new Head of Sales for the United States.
Brian brings three decades in sound and vibration instrumentation, with leadership roles at NTi Audio, Audio Precision, and Brüel & Kjær across the US and Europe. He is equally at home in the standards community that defines how noise is measured and judged. A member of the ASTM community noise and building acoustics committees, represented instrumentation manufacturers on the ANSI working group that recently updated the ANSI S12.2 room noise criteria, and served on the City of Portland Noise Advisory Workgroup, which just completed its work.
Ask Brian what drives that work, and he will tell you it is balance: communities need both the people who make noise and the people who live next to it, and effective measurement is how they find common ground. As an avid pickleball player, he has spent time on both sides of that line. Please join us in welcoming Brian. If you are attending NoiseCon in Long Beach (9-11 JULY 2026), stop by the Booth #24 and say hello.
Setting a new standard in occupational noise control and environmental compliance, the SV 810 operates seamlessly within a frequency range of 2 Hz to 250 Hz, ensuring full alignment with the rigorous ISEE Blasting Seismograph Standards (2022). To meet the demands of high-pressure environments, the device features an extended peak measurement capability ranging from 105 dB Peak to 168 dB Peak (3.6 Pa to 5 kPa).
Designed with field autonomy and industrial hygiene in mind, the SV 810 Air-Overpressure Meter is equipped with a rechargeable Li-ion battery that provides up to 8 hours of independent operation. To support comprehensive human exposure risk assessment and structural monitoring, the meter records data—including time-domain audio records in WAV format—directly to its 8 GB integrated memory. For advanced acoustic analysis networks, the SV 810 integrates easily with the SV 803, SV 804, and SD 311 systems, enabling flexible use in both standalone and networked configurations.
Key Technical Specifications of the SV 810:
The SV 810 features a clear 96×96 px OLED color display and a 4-push-button keyboard, all packaged in a lightweight 270 g unit (470 g when enclosed in the SA 810 housing). This instrument represents a significant advancement for professionals managing high-pressure, low-frequency noise monitoring in demanding industrial sectors.

“Why Class 1 Certification Matters: A Guide to Sound Level Meter Standards and Pattern Approval”
When selecting a sound level meter, many professionals focus on the Class 1 designation. However, not all Class 1 instruments provide the same level of confidence when measurements are used for regulatory compliance, environmental assessments, occupational noise evaluations, or legal proceedings.
This new guide explains the role of independent pattern approval and how it differs from a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity. It also discusses why certification is often a key requirement wherever measurement results must withstand external scrutiny.
In the article, you will learn:
Whether you are an acoustic consultant, environmental specialist, occupational hygienist, or noise monitoring professional, understanding certification requirements is essential for selecting the right measurement equipment.
Read the full article in SVANTEK Academy and learn why certification matters whenever accuracy, compliance, and trust are critical.
