Personalised hearing protection

Shawcity has announced the launch of the SV104IS from Svantek. This Type 2 personal noise dosimeter is intrinsically safe and includes capabilities for full octave band analysis, enabling you to tailor hearing protection to employees in their day-to-day working environments.


The SV104IS is said to offer new qualities in an instrument of this size. It gives the user audio event recording functionality and allows interrogation of real time data and reporting via an android app. This means no more waiting until the end of a shift before downloading data to a laptop to analyse it.

Cable-free, it is typically attached close to the ear on the user’s shoulder and has a robust ½in MEMS microphone with a dynamic range of 90 dB which measures noise from 60-140 dBA. Other features include TEDS memory and autocalibration using most commonly available acoustic calibrators.

The docking station also supports data transfer to a PC through the infrared interface as well as handling battery charging. The rechargeable batteries used in the SV104IS will power the instrument for 50 hours.

Shawcity says the benefits of this new approach to personalised dosimeters underpin the simple fact that as an individual, the more effective and personalised your hearing protection is, the more likely you are to wear it which ultimately means better protection for the workforce.
