Updated sound meter
February 1st 2009

The newly updated Vocis sound meter from Castle Group 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.
