Boogie

Integrating mini sound level meter with maximum performance

Overview


The ultra-compact design of the Boogie sound level meter provides excellent characteristics. It is designed for easy operation, even by inexperienced users.Automatic calibration and automatic measuring range selection help to avoid measurement errors. The large and clear indication of the measured
values in numbers and additionally as a quasi-analogue bar facilitates readability.

With only three buttons the instrument allows simplest operation. The membrane keypad is easy to clean, and the stainless steel microphone enclosure reliably withstands the strains of everyday use.

Due to its reasonable price, easy handling and small format Boogie is the ideal choice even for companies, citizens’ initiatives or private individuals whose budget does usually prohibit to purchase noise measuring equipment.

As a special feature for its class Boogie also measures the energy-equivalent continuous sound level LAeq (moving 1 second value or start/stop mode) apart from the A-weighted sound pressure level and its
maximum.

An acoustic calibrator enables fully automatic calibration of the instrument. The calibration is also stored and retained after shut-down.

Operation of Boogie on the RS232 interface (BOOGIE_232/Class 2 USB sound level meter)

Combined with the enclosed BoogieRecorder software the RS232 interface enables you to view and store measured values. Furthermore the software allows configuration and remote control of the measuring instrument. A separate window for easy parameter set-up as well as display and storage of measured values is provided on the computer screen. The connection to a Windows PC is established via the enclosed RS232/USB adapter.

The interface enables the user to easily integrate Boogie into a PC-based measurement. The commands required for this operation are included in a command list. The command structure of the interface is designed to allow operation of the instrument in an ASCII terminal.
