Spartan Series Firearm Noise Sound Level Meter

Firearms Acoustic Analysis | Model 821IH-QPR

Many firearm examiners are tasked with determining whether installation of a suppressor on a firearm results in a “perceptible” reduction of the sound pressure level of a gun. The Larson Davis Spartan 821IH-QPR provides this functionality utilizing an easy-to use handheld platform. Included BLE technology allows for easy measurement control using the LD Atlas mobile app or included software. Meters may also be connected via USB-C.

With the included ¼” prepolarized pressure microphone, Spartan 821IH-QPR is capable of reading levels up to 183 dB, easily capturing levels typically associated with gunfire testing. Included G4 LD Utility software provides automatic wireless or USB data download, and convenient data storage options. View tabular data, visualize results on a graph, create custom reports, and export data to a variety of formats.
