The Optimus+ Yellow is a range of basic sound level meters built to international standards (IEC 61672) and available as either Class 1 or Class 2 sound level meters. The range is the entry-point for Cirrus Research's well-renowned Optimus+ range. The Optimus+ Yellow noise level meter is capable of measuring the maximum noise level during a session, and provides simple and easy-to-understand data, including frequency weightings and time history.

The Optimus+ Yellow is a state-of-the-art noise level meter that has been designed by the engineers at Cirrus Research to meet the very latest international standards in sound measuring and monitoring.

Most suited for applications where only basic noise level data is required, the Optimus+ Yellow can record the sound pressure level (SPL), maximum sound level (LMax) in decibels, which refers to the loudest recorded noise level during a period of data capturing, and on specific variants, allows for data logging of the sound levels measured over a user-defined period of time. This data will give you a basic understanding of the noise levels where you are measuring, and will allow you to identify any particular noise hotspots.

It has a bright and easy-to-read colur display allowing you to see the noise level in decibels (dB) in real-time on-screen, providing you with a clear and instant indication of the sound levels measured.
