CEL-500 series meters

CEL-500 Series Real Time Analyzers

The following CEL analyzers feature real time (or parallel) frequency analysis capability. This makes them suitable for tackling any sort of noise problem since all of the frequency information is gathered simultaneously. These meters can measure steady, variable or impulsive noises very quickly and efficiently and are ideal for solving difficult noise problems in the shortest possible time. All meters can have a variety of specialist measurement options fitted for building acoustics work or sound quality recording. All models are available with a wide range preamplifier for long term outdoor monitoring to ANSI Type 1 accuracy standards.

real time display in CEL-500 RTA

example of real time display screen fitted to all CEL-500 analyzers
first bar graph at left is overall Linear noise level showing total noise
second bar graph at left is the 'A' weighted noise level to mimic the human hearing sensation
then follows 11 sets of third octave bands of noise (33 bands in all) showing noise across total audio range
total of 35 noise results are shown simultaneously on screen
cursor may be moved to any chosen band to view levels digitally at top right corner
