Questions & Answers

In what range does the frequency occur?

I would like to know the frequency range of the signal is 20 Hz to 8 kHz.

Can you tell me what the frequency response of this unit is? How much difference do you think there is between that frequency range and 4 dB?

plus or minus Regardless of whether you are using curve A or curve C, this should be sufficient. For more details, you can check out the SPL weighting curves on the web.

In a production plant, we need to monitor eight hours. Can this unit handle the task?

It allows us to measure spots accurately in different locations by using a sound meter. A simple dosimeter/datalogger that can be used as a standalone device is much more convenient for purposes of continuous monitoring, and it can be connected to a computer to log data, but we have not tested that yet.

What are the differences between this app and the dB pro app on the iPhone?

I am not sure what you mean. It is more appropriate to ask what the R8060's performance is like when compared to an iPhone with a This does not apply to critical work. As I calibrated my R8060 using ) and compared it with the R8060 with the NIOSH sound meter app for iOS, using pink noise as my source of sound. As a result, I had to adjust the NIOSH app for the iPhone to get the right dB level. An iPhone would need to be equipped with a high quality frequency response calibrated external microphone that is designed to work with a calibrator like the r8090 in order to compare with the r8060. According to NIOSH, an iPhone that uses their app will meet the Type 2 requirements for IEC 61672. Using an external microphone will result in an SLM of 3.

Selected User Reviews For REED Instruments R8060 Sound Level Meter with Bargraph, Type 2, 30 to 130 dB

Has no problem performing the purpose for which it was designed

5/5

It is a great sound meter and I am very pleased with it. Exactly what it was designed to do, measure sound levels accurately. A sound level calibration device like the Reed R8090 is very accurate if you want to be quite precise. Even after upgrading my R8060 meter to the R8090, I was still able to improve its accuracy. wish to be as accurate as possible, it is best to calibrate the sound meter each time you plan on using it, then check the calibration once you have taken.

With the R8060 sound level meter, you can easily measure sound levels and they will be extremely With this tool I have been able to accurately measure the sound level in a sheet metal manufacturing shop, so that I can show my employees the areas that are louder than others and advise them to use ear plugs. No matter what type of environment you are in, I highly recommend this product.

A wonderful tool for accuracy

5/5

I was very pleased with the accuracy of the meter and how easy it was to use. Following my calibration of the home theater, I checked again after a few days. A consistent pattern emerged from the readings.

I have no problems with it

5/5

The audio level meter is easy to grasp, easy to use, and seems to work well when I need to measure the volume of audio. In the event of background noise, the high/low lock feature will come in handy.
