The integral average sound level meters (sound level meters) "LA-1411/LA-1441A (Class 2, ordinary sound level meter)" and "LA-4441A (Class 1, precision sound level meter)" are compliant with the Measurement Act (enforced in 2021), IEC 61672-1:2013, and JIS C 1509-1:2017.※1
With a wide linearity range of 100 dB, it can simultaneously measure and display seven noise indicators, including the time-averaged sound level, in response to a wide range of sound level fluctuations without switching the level range.
The three products allow for the separation of the microphone part of the sound level meter from the main unit, enabling long-distance extension of the microphone part by connecting a dedicated coaxial cable.

The curved body shape minimizes the effects of sound reflection, and the intuitive operation menu is easy to read, achieving a more user-friendly human interface than ever before.

Additionally, the LA-1441A and LA-4441A sound level meters (noise meters) can quickly and easily transfer acquired measurement data to a computer via RS-232C or USB using dedicated free software, and can also be remotely operated and controlled from a computer.

* ASNITE calibration and JCSS calibration are possible.
(※1) From the shipments in December 2017, the compliance standards listed on the back of the main unit have been switched to IEC 61672-1:2013 and JIS C 1509-1:2017. It has been confirmed that shipments before November 2017 are also compliant with IEC 61672-1:2013 and JIS C 1509-1:2017. Customers who purchased before November 2017 and wish to update the JIS/IEC notation during calibration (for a fee) should contact our customer service.

Features

Simultaneously measures and displays seven noise indices, including time-averaged sound level (Leq).

Equipped with the essential time-averaged sound level (Leq) measurement function for sound level meters,
simultaneously measures 7 noise indicators (L p, L eq, L E, L max, L min, L peak, L N<L high, L 5, L 10, L 50, L 90, L 95, L low, L ave>), allows for selection display, and prevents measurement omissions.

L p Time-weighted sound level
L eq Time Average Sound Level
L E Sound exposure level
L max maximum value of time-weighted sound level
L min minimum value of time-weighted sound level
L peak Peak Sound Level
L N time rate sound level

The microphone part of the sound level meter can be separated from the main body and extended over long distances using a dedicated coaxial cable.

The microphone part of the sound level meter can be separated from the main body and extended over long distances using a dedicated coaxial cable. This makes remote measurements easy to achieve.

Easy and convenient data processing

Connect the sound level meter to a Windows ® PC using an RS-232C or USB cable, and use the dedicated free software to quickly and easily transfer the acquired measurement data to the computer, or to remotely operate and control the sound level meter from the computer.

Calibration

To ensure the accuracy of the values measured by the measuring instrument, it is necessary to calibrate the instrument at appropriate intervals. Only by using calibrated instruments can the reliability and stability of the obtained measurement values be enhanced. The integrated average sound level meter has three calibration services: "ASNITE calibration," "JCSS calibration," and "general calibration."
