Shhh; Listen to the Vocis! Quiet as a mouse! New Sound Meter from Castle!
October 10th 2008

Did you know that the ‘Vocis’ is the Latin word for ‘Voice’? And the newly updated Vocis sound meter from Castle Group Ltd certainly seems to have a lot to say for itself. The Vocis incorporates an in-built hearing protection database, which means that after making a measurement through the instant template system, it can show how much protection can be expected with any particular hearing protection device straight to the screen! This can then be directly compared with the Exposure Limit Value from the Noise at Work Regulations 2005!

This removes all the erroneous and time-consuming calculations from the Safety Officer, and provides fast, accurate analysis of attenuation data. This Hearing Protection comparison can then be downloaded onto a PC via Castle’s dBdataPRO dedicated software, or directly onto a portable printer, a necessity that can be vital in any future litigation.

With real-time octave band analysis, twin measurement channels and data-logging into 32 Mb of memory, the Castle Pro-DX Vocis Sound Meter can capture all the data required for a noise at work risk assessment in one measurement, making it ideal for the busy safety professional.

Chris Frear of Coors Brewery, Tadcaster said, ‘In the brewing industry, we needed a rugged instrument that was simple to use in a potentially tough environment. The Castle Vocis seemed to fit the mark and has certainly proven itself since we purchased it. Some of our team also attended a Castle Training course, which we found to be geared to exactly what we needed; the right amount of practical and theory to help us get the job done.’

The Vocis is proving to be a huge success for Castle, with sales on every continent. The meter has been designed for tough environments and is weather- and dust-proof, protecting the top-technology held within.
