Big noise for noise monitor
May 23rd 2006

Casella CEL has made the bold claim that its new CEL-350 dBadge turns an everyday noise monitor into a masterpiece!

Personal sound exposure is measured using wearable noise dosimeters typically worn on the belt with a cable-connected microphone mounted near to the ear. According to Casella, market research has indicated that the wearer often dislikes these microphone cables. Early attempts to over come this problem have been made using cable-less ‘badge’ type products but they have been difficult to use because they lack an integral display. The all-new CEL-350 dBadge overcomes these weaknesses and additionally

includes a noise exposure alarm.

According to the company, the CEL-350 dBadge is versatile due to being cable free, is totally reliable due to the digital technology used and uses a robust, small and lightweight (68g) ergonomic design. The CEL-350 dBadge measures all occupational noise parameters, as well as the time history of an individual’s noise exposure throughout the day.

Commenting on the launch, Tim Turney, Product Manager for Casella CEL says:

“The new dBadge challenges your ideas about what a noise dosimeter looks like and what it can do - almost like a piece of unconventional art. This noise dosimeter is different from anything else in the market. It is incredibly simple to use without losing any capability, whilst being very comfortable to wear. To put it simply, we have created a masterpiece.”
