New features of the CR:800C Series include data download to a PC via a USB connection and updates to the Deaf Defier3 software.
Further options that are available include 1:1 and 1:3 Octave Band Filters.

"Our new CR:800C sound level meters are an ideal choice for any professional noise measurement application, from Noise at Work risk assessment, to vehicle noise testing and environmental noise measurements", said James Tingay of Cirrus Research: "Powerful, robust, and easy to use, these new sound level meters will help organisations keep within the letter of the law with regard to noise safety and, in the case of workplace noise, help users to select appropriate ear protection".
Which sound level meter customers need will depend on two things: what they want to record, be it occupational or environmental noise, and on how much data they need to store.
The Cirrus team will help customers choose which kit is right for their business and demonstrate how it can help them meet the requirements of the law.
A range of accessories is available to complement the CR:800C series including outdoor measurement kits, power supplies, microphone extension cables and software.
Free back-up and support, including license free software and updates, is provided with every Cirrus noise measurement product.
