Castle / GA116B
Sonus GA116B Sound Pressure Level Meter, Class 1
The entry level of the Castle Pocket Range of Sound Level Meters is the SONUS B(GA116B ), a feature packed, pocket instrument that is fully compliant with IEC 61672-1:2013. This meter gives simultaneous sound pressure (Lp) and peak (Cpeak) measurement for a multitude of tasks including initial spot-check assessments to the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. It has a high-specification measurement microphone and is cased in tough, crack resistant ABS plastic.
