Featured in the iPhone, an Audio Engineer’s BFF.

SPL Graph by Studio Six Digital

Measuring SPL over time has many uses, and has never been as easy as with SPL Meter by Studio Six Digitial.

There quite a few uses for SPL Over Time, including but not limited to Acoustical Measurements (avg background noise over a period of time), meeting dB limits (some european festivals use SPL/Time instead of Instantaneous SPL) as well as measuring work place noise to meet OSHA standards.

SPL Meter is an iPhone app with a serious use.  Lets take a look into it’s features…

  • Measures SPL Over Time
  • Weighting Options Include Unweighted, A, C, and by Octave
  • Graph Saving, Recall, and Export to Photo Roll
  • Date and Times Listed, as well as AVG LEQ.
  • Capable of Recording the Audio as well as Analyzing
  • Microphone Calibration (+/- Gain)
  • Internal or External Microphone Selection

SPL Meter can measure up to 24 Hours of data (if recording audio, it’s dependent on free space on the iPhone) with single second resolution.  You can then scroll through the data to find high points in SPL and their times, as well as Zoom in and Out on the Graph.

For acoustical professionals, or those just wondering what damage they’re really causing to their ears in an environment this is an excellent tool to see what your background noise (or foreground) SPL is.

Available on iTunes for $9.99.
