SM-20-A
Sound Meter-A
The Amprobe SM-20-A Sound Level Meter has been designed
to meet the measurement requirements of safety Engineers,
Health, Industrial safety offices and quality control in various
environments. It offers two types of measurements: A weighting and C weight.
The A weighting is for general noise sound level and the C
weighting is for measuring sound level of acoustic material
control in various environments (ie 94dB 1 kHz etc...). The
SM-20-A conforms to the IEC651 Type 2,ANSI S1.4 Type 2, and
JISC1502 requirements for Sound Level Meters. Which means
the SM-20-A uses two different weighting filters required by
the IEC 651 and ANSI S1.4 Type 2: The A-Weighting and the
C-Weighting audio filtering.
