Sensaphonics Hearing Conservation, Inc. is introducing the dB Check in-ear sound level analyzer, the first device capable of accurately measuring sound pressure levels with the earphones inserted. Designed to work with Sensaphonics custom earphones, the dB Check is a handheld unit that measures and displays the actual A-weighted SPL and, more importantly, the recommended safe exposure time for that level on both the NIOSH and OSHA scales.
To use the dB Check, plug it in between the sound source (IEM bodypack, iPod, etc.) and the earphones. The user selects the Sensaphonics model being used (ProPhonic 2X-S, 2MAX, or 3D Active Ambient), sets the duration (from one minute to two hours), and monitors normally. In operation, the dB Check displays the A-weighted decibel level in real time. When the duration expires, the LCD display shows both the average SPL and the recommended daily exposure time under both NIOSH and OSHA guidelines.
Additional functionality built into the dB Check includes a condenser microphone for taking room level measurements. The unit is powered by a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery and ships in a rugged Pelican case. Supplied accessories include an audio interconnect cable and USB charging cable.
