Class 2 Sound Level Meter
SV 973

Name: SV 973 Class 2 Sound Level Meter
Brand: Svantek

SV 973 Class 2 Sound Level Meter meets IEC 61672 and comes with a lifetime warranty on the MEMS microphone. Because the external microphone it is constructed of two MEMS microphones, it may detect sounds as high as 141 dB Peak and as low as 25 dB in the presence of low background noise. The SV 973 sound level meter describes its small size and weight. It is perfect for on-the-go use.

What is a Class 2 Sound Level Meter?

The Class 2 Sound Level Meter is a noise measuring device that meets IEC 61672 class 2 standards. It has a microphone, a preamplifier, a signal processor, and a display that displays noise results. The class 2 specification is very similar to the class 1 sound level meter specification, but with different acceptance limits and a different range of operational temperature. Class 2’s acceptance limits are greater than or equal to those of class 1.

Sound Meter

Features

The large measurement range

The measurement range of the sound level meter

The measurement range of sound level meters is the lower and upper extremities of noise levels that a meter can detect while still meeting IEC 61672 tolerance limits in the frequency bands. The SV 973 has two measuring ranges and a total measuring range of 25 dBA Leq÷141 dBA Peak.

Logging sound level meter

Digital sound level meter with logging

A digital sound level meter is a noise measuring device that employs an analog-digital converter (ADC) and time weightings to convert noise measurements into a digital signal shown on screen in decibels. The noise readings are recorded in the memory of sound level meters as time histories, with integration intervals.

Professional sound level meters

New generation of sound level meters

There are three types of sound level meters: Class 1 and Class 2 devices following IEC 61672 tolerance limits, and low-cost sonometers or decibel meters. The new SV 973 sound level meter, and the SV 971A class 1 sound level meter are two new generation models that comply with IEC 61672 performance criteria. They have a small size and weight as well as improved application compatibility via mobile apps, which is their main feature.

Patented microphone technology

A lifetime warranty for the MEMS microphone.

The SV 973 noise meter is the first product in its class to feature a high-performance MEMS microphone. Because these type of electronic components are shock resistant and require less power, MEMS microphones are better than piezoelectric ones. The SV 973 sound level meters feature a 38-hour battery life thanks to its superior MEMS microphone!

Noise Analyser Options

1/1 and 1/3 octaves, wav recording, RT60 and STIPA

The SV973 Sound Level Meter is one of the most accurate class 2 meters on the market due to its measurement abilities. Noise analyzer choices such as 1/1 and 1/3 real-time octave analysis, wav recording, reverberation time measurement, and even STIPA speech intelligibility go well above and beyond what other class 2 meters.

Sound Meter Apps

Meter App for Android or iOS device and software for PC

The SV 973 is also equipped with a Bluetooth and Assistant mobile software that allows you to extend the noise measurement capabilities (e.g. remote start/stop) and perform STIPA or RT60 measurements using your smart device. The PC software offers reporting and unique functions of hearing protectors selection to protect your hearing.

Calibration with an Acoustic Calibrator

Autocalibration feature at reference frequencies

With the autocalibration feature, sound level meters may be quickly calibrated in the field using an acoustic calibrator, as soon as the microphone is placed into the calibrator. The noise meter can be calibrated at two levels 94 dB and 114 dB.

Applications

Occupational safety and health

Noise at work

For noise measurements at work, the dedicated sound exposure meter lifts the dynamic range of a sound level meter up to 141 dB Peak. This professional sound level meter satisfies NIOSH SLM, OSHA, MSHA, ACGIH, and ISO performance criteria for noise exposure and relevant international standards for environmental noises measurements.

Sound Measurements - dBA Meter

Sound measurements in a frequency range to 10 kHz

Frequency weightings of SV 973 meet the performance criteria of type 2, allowing it to be used for the most applications where a class 1 frequency range is not required, up to 10 kHz.

STIPA in accordance with IEC 60268

Noise meter for classrooms

The STIPA speech transmission and RT60 reverberation time function in the type 2 sound level meter may be utilized to measure sound levels in schools or public announcement alarm systems. The BA Assistant mobile app allows you to carry out the procedure.
