App for sound level meters

SvanMobile enables the user to link measurement files from the sound level meter to media from smartphones such as images, videos and audio notes, as well as location and meteorological data. It is also possible to use SvanMobile to connect to the sound level meter over the internet if it has a GPRS modem or WiFi.

John Shelton, MD, comments: "This is a significant development for Svantek. For devices running on Android platform, SvanMobile helps extend the functionalities of the SVAN 977B and SVAN 979 sound level meters. Plus anyone who monitors noise in the environment will appreciate being able to build a project around their sound level measurements by adding weather data and GPS positions.”

Svantek’s SVAN 977B and SVAN 979 instruments are robust, accurate and easy to use and capable of type 1 IEC 61672:2002 sound level measurements and acceleration, velocity and displacement vibration monitoring. Both models offer a variety of key features: all weather microphone protection, hand held, lightweight and robust case, real time FFT analysis, advanced data logging and advanced trigger and alarm functions. 

In addition, data is stored on a standard micro SD card and easily downloaded to a PC using SvanPC++ software over USB interface.

A key feature of these sound level meters is being able to disconnect the microphone preamplifier and use them for vibration measurements. The instruments have two high-speed digital signal processors meaning they are capable of measuring 2ms steps of time history, logged simultaneously to audio recording (with 48 kHz sampling) and real time frequency analysis.
