STARTING THE mEASUREmENT

• You should always measure a sound source directly and at a distance of 1 m. Make
sure that there are no objects or persons between the microphone and the sound
source.
• Point the sound level meter with the microphone directly on the sound source.
• In order to not influence the soundwaves, keep the measuring as far away from
your body as possible at your outstretched arm or attach it to the enclosed stand.
If possible, move approx. 2 m away from the measuring spot. Avoid vibrations or
movements.
• In case of wind (>10 m/s), use the enclosed wind protector to not falsify the measuring
value with the wind noise. The wind protector does not falsify the measuring value.
