Features / what's inside

Four things it does well.

01

Live dB(A)

A-weighted sound pressure readout, smoothed and tuned for accurate field measurement.

02

Peak and average

Rolling average alongside peak hold so you can capture both the spike and the steady state.

03

Reference levels

Built-in comparisons — quiet conversation, traffic, drill, concert — so the number actually means something.

04

Session capture

Log a session with notes and location, ready for a complaint, a workplace report, or a sound check.
