  • No formal training is needed. ST-12D features an intuitive interface, making it easy to use for professionals and beginners alike.

  • An accurate noise measurement instrument that meets IEC 61672-1:2002 standards (or equivalent standards such as BS EN 61672-1:2003). It has tighter tolerances (+/- 1.9 dB at 1 kHz) compared to Class 2 (+/- 2.2 dB). Class 1 meters are ideal for measuring sound pressure, Leq, and peak sound pressure, often required by regulations like the UK’s Noise at Work.

  • Your choice depends on the application:

    Class 1: Preferred for environmental noise surveys, low noise levels, legal applications, and standards like ISO 20906:2009 for aircraft sound monitoring.
    Class 2: Suitable for less demanding applications without strict accuracy requirements.

  • Conduct field calibrations before and after each use. Additionally, have the device professionally calibrated annually to maintain compliance with standards.

  • Using a windscreen or weatherproof outdoor kit helps reduce wind noise and ensures accurate readings in outdoor settings.

  • Yes, Scarlet offers microphone extension cables (available in 2.5m and 5m lengths) that allow the microphone to be positioned away from the meter, ideal for specific monitoring setups.

  • Yes. ST-12D supports analog outputs and RS-232 serial communication, enabling integration with external systems such as weather stations or environmental monitoring system.
