Extremely user friendly ! Rion's NL-52 and NL-42 sound level meters provide full support for the measurement process. | ||
The NL-52 and NL-42 were developed to eliminate the trouble of reading instruction manuals when conducting measurements. Large and easily viewable three-inch LCD color display. The unit (except for the microphone) is water-resistant, which means that it is unaffected by sudden rain showers. You can use rechargeable batteries to help cut down on waste, making this an environmentally friendly product. | ||

Water-resistant (Except for the microphone) | Use of rechargeable batteries |
Guaranteed water-resistant to at least level IP54 (resistant to spraying water). Helps reduce failures caused by sudden rain showers. * Mounting the All-weather windscreen or rainproof windscreen helps raise the water-resistant performance of the entire unit,so that the microphone will meet IPX3 specifications. | In these new models it is possible to use rechargeable batteries which make these meters environmentally-friendly. 24 hour continuous measurement is possible (when using eneloop? or dry alkaline batteries). |
・ Please use the dedicated charger to charged eneloop? batteries. ・ When using eneloop batteries, please read the eneloop? battery instruction manual. ・ eneloop? is a registered trademark of Panasonic group. |

windscreen WS-15 This windscreen is designed for outdoor installations. It helps to reduce wind noise and is equipped with rainproof features that satisfy the IPX3 water-resistant specifications. It is used with a microphone extension cable. (Mounting adapter WS15006 required separately) | windscreen WS-16 This screen protects the microphone against rain for a short period of time.The rainproof performance of this windscreen is designed to satisfy the IPX3 water-resistant specifications. | NC-74 This Sound calibrator conforms to IEC 60942 (JIS C 1515), Class 1, providing a level of performance sufficient for calibrating the precision sound level meter. Specifications
| This stand can be used for general acoustic measurements. The sound level meter and microphone can be mounted on the stand. ST-80 ST-81 (For All-weather windscreen WS-15, use of ST-81 is recommended.) | ||||
This software allows you to load stored WAVE files from a RION sound level meter, vibration meter or data recorder. Octave, 1/3 octave, and FFT analyses can then be performed. Playback of the real sound files is also possible. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Measurement functions | Simultaneous measurement of the following items, with selected time weighting and frequency weighting | ||||
Processing (main ch) | Instantaneous sound pressure level: Lp Equivalent continuous sound pressure level: Leq Sound exposure level: LE Maximum sound pressure level: Lmax Minimum sound pressure level: Lmin Percentile sound levels: LN (0.1 to 99.9 %, 0.1-increment steps, max. 5 values) | ||||
Processing (sub ch) | Instantaneous sound pressure level: Lp | ||||
Additional processing | In addition to main processing items, one of the following can be selected for simultaneous processing: C-weighted equivalent continuous sound level: LCeq C-weighted peak sound level: LCpeak Z-weighted peak sound level: LZpeak エ-time-weighted equivalent continuous sound level: LAIeq*2 Maximum エ-time-weighted equivalent continuous sound level: LAImax*2 The power average of the maximum level of each 5 second interval: LAtm5 The frequency weighting for the additional processing synchronizes with the frequency weighting of the sub-channel, so when the sub-channel has A-weighting, LAtm5 can be selected. When C-weighting (Z-weighting ) is selected, the additional processing LCeq and LCpeak (LZpeak) are selectable. | ||||
