Description
Overview
Rational Acoustics Smaart SPL offers the same complete SPL measurement toolset from Smaart v8 in a purpose-built standalone package. Smaart SPL provides a powerful solution for monitoring, metering, and logging SPL – with a format and price point more accessible to users who don’t require the real-time frequency and impulse response mode analysis capabilities of our flagship Smaart v8 software.
Important: For accurate SPL measurements, this product requires the use of a microphone calibrator in addition to a suitable acoustic test & measurement microphone and a microphone preamp / audio interface.
