Quest SoundPro SE/DL

Current

Hand-held sound level meter and analyser offered in Class 1 and Class 2 versions, with two virtual meters running at once and optional real-time 1/1 and 1/3-octave filters. SE models store summary data; DL models add time-history logging. Used for occupational and environmental noise surveys; an outdoor measuring kit (SP-OMS) converts it for unattended use.
