LA-7000 series allows “measuring while listening to sound” in addition to the original features of a sound level meter such as measurement and calculation.
By listening to the sound instantly at the measuring place, you can confirm condition of a target, perform sound source probing, and check that the sound is unfailingly being recorded. The LA-7000 series sound level meter is a great help for reliable measurement at measurement place where no mistakes can be allowed.
By adding various options, the LA-7000 series is able to be upgraded to a sound analyzer (frequency analysis) and a sound recorder*, performing more than just a sound level meter.
The measurement performance is substantially improved only using LA-7000 series which does multiple duties, such as sound measurement, sound recording, frequency analysis, and sound probing of abnormal sound.
By using LA-7000 series together with various analyses software, “waveform analysis”, “sound quality evaluation”, “fluctuation sound analysis”,and ”simulation of sound frequency” can also be performed.
