The new Kanomax (Japan) sound and vibration meters are designed to be compact, lightweight and easy to use. The sound meter complies with type 2 ANSI S1.4 1983, and has an innovative, unique 0-dB feature that eliminates the self-noise of the microphone. This technology extends the lower limit of the measurement range to lower than 0 dB-SPL. The vibration meter features a magnetic accelerometer which makes measurements both easier and more reliable.

The Model 4431 Sound Level Meter includes: 0-dB feature, iliminates microphone self-noise, Meets type 2 standard for ANSI S1.4 1983 and IEC 61672-1, A, C and Z weighting modes, 28 to 130 dB measurement range, Measures Lp, Leq, Le, Lmax, Lmin and Lx, Large 4 digit display with 0.1 dB resolution with backlighting & analogue bar graph, Dimensions & Weight: 11.2" x 3.4" x 1.8", 1 lb. and a 2 Year Warranty.

Some of the benefits from this sound meter are Optional program cards giving you the flexibility to add additional functions as needed, Noise cancelling microphone eliminates noise generated by the instrument and it is a Small, lightweight unit.

The Model 4200 Vibration Meter features: Acceleration measurement range 0.02 to 200 m/s2 EMS, Velocity measurement range 0.02 to 200 m/s2 RMS, Displacement measurement range 2 to 2000µm EQp-p, Readings: RMS, Peak, EQ Peak, EQ Peak-to-Peak, Dimensions & Weight: 5.7" x 1.9" x 0.9", 0.3 lb and a 2 Year Warranty.

The main benefits for the vibration meter are that it is Compact in Size and the Magnetic accelerometer increases accuracy and ease-of-use.
