The CR:308 and CR:310 are basic sound level meters that are perfect when you need simple noise information. Both meters are capable of measuring the maximum sound level (LMax) and the sound pressure level (SPL). Both the CR:308 and CR:310 are used for simple sound measuring applications, such as alarm testing, spot checks, and very basic occupational noise checks.

The Cirrus Research CR:308 and CR:310 sound level meters provide an entry level for noise measurement across multiple sectors, and meet current international standards for noise measurement instrumentation.

Both variants provide the sound pressure level (SPL) and maximum sound level (LMax) readings, which can help you determine how loud something/somewhere is without overcomplicating the data with other acoustic information. Both variations can also measure different frequency weightings, which provides more detailed and accurate data than many other basic sound level meters available on the market.

The CR:308 displays the SPL and LMax data, and comes with the ability to set your own noise level alert. Simply choose a decibel level, and when the meter records a noise level that meets or exceeds your pre-set value, a indicator will appear on the screen. This is incredibly useful when you need to know quickly and easily whether or not something is louder than a prescribed value.

The CR:310 can display the Leq for one measurement, using the start/stop button on the instrument. It can also send results directly to a portable printer, which is sold separately.
