Tadeto Digital Sound Level Meter 30–130 dB

This compact handheld device measures environmental noise and helps monitor sound levels at home, on site or in workshops. As a portable decibel meter it gives quick readings of noise from 30 dB to 130 dB, making it useful for routine checks of rooms, machinery and audio equipment.

Key Points

The meter offers A and C frequency weighting options to match different listening contexts. A-weighting suits low level environmental noise while C-weighting is better for analysing loud machinery and motor noise. The instrument supports fast and slow response modes, so you can switch to rapid sampling for fluctuating levels or use the slower setting for more stable averages. A clear backlit LCD shows readings with 0.1 dB resolution and a low battery icon appears when power is running low. The unit is lightweight and pocket friendly, which makes it convenient to carry between rooms or across a site. 📏

Technical Specifications

• Name: Tadeto Digital Sound Level Meter
• Measurement range: 30 dB to 130 dB
• Accuracy: ± 2.0 dB
• Weighting options: A / C
• Response times: Fast (0.125 s) and Slow (1 s)
• Display: 4-digit LCD with 0.1 dB resolution

Advantages

The ability to choose weighting and response speed gives the instrument flexibility for several applications, from ambient noise checks in a nursery to pressure level checks on factory equipment. The backlit display improves legibility in dim areas and the numeric resolution helps track small changes in sound level. The stated accuracy of ± 2.0 dB, according to the manufacturer, is sufficient for general monitoring and preliminary assessments. 🔍

Usage Recommendations

Hold the meter at ear height for simple room checks and point the microphone towards the main source of sound when measuring machinery. Use the A-weighting for environmental or residential noise assessments and switch to C-weighting when evaluating engine or industrial equipment. For fluctuating sound environments, use the fast response to capture peaks, and switch to the slow response for averaged readings. Consider that this meter provides useful field measurements but may not replace a calibrated instrument required for formal compliance testing according to specific standards.
