Class 1 Sound & Vibration Analyser SVAN 979

SVAN 979 is a precision Class 1 sound level meter, compliant with BS EN 61672-1 and designed for demanding acoustic and vibration measurements. It offers real-time frequency analysis, including 1/1 and 1/3 octave bands, FFT, and infrasound from 3.15 Hz using a G-weighting filter. A wide dynamic range starting at 12 dBA and a reference-grade GRAS microphone ensure reliable results in low-level noise and building acoustics. With functions such as RT60, STIPA, and 48 kHz WAV recording, the instrument supports sound insulation, speech intelligibility, and environmental testing. Compatibility with mobile apps and SvanPC++ software streamlines field operation and reporting.

High-End Sound Level Meter

SVAN 979 delivers Class 1 precision with an extended range from 12 dBA and 3.15 Hz, ideal for demanding acoustic applications. Its real-time frequency analysis, GRAS reference microphone, and low noise floor ensure exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Recognised as a reference instrument by calibration and measurement laboratories, it meets the highest standards for environmental noise, building acoustics, and infrasound.

Features

Wide Dynamic Range

From 12 dBA to 140 dB Peak

SVAN 979 captures both very low and very high sound levels with precision, making it ideal for sensitive environments and high-noise areas alike.

Real-Time Frequency Analysis

1/1, 1/3 octave and FFT up to 20 kHz

Delivers detailed spectral insights for environmental, industrial, and building acoustics applications – all processed in real time.

Low-Frequency Capability

Infrasound from 3.15 Hz with G-weighting

Supports wind farm and industrial measurements where low-frequency noise needs accurate assessment under standardised conditions.

Reference-Grade Accuracy

GRAS microphone and calibration-grade stability

Used by calibration laboratories as a reference device thanks to its low noise floor, stability, and traceable accuracy.

WAV Audio Recording

Up to 48 kHz, 24-bit resolution

Captures time-domain signals for post-analysis, noise source identification, or legal documentation.
