Tadeto Digital Sound Level Meter - Portable Decibel Meter 30dB to 130dB MAX Data Hold With LCD Display Backlight A/C Weighted for Home Factories

I run a mobile DJ business and picked this up to keep an eye on sound levels during events and setups. It’s simple to use, lightweight, and easy to read, which is exactly what I wanted. The display is clear with a useful backlight, and the max hold feature makes it easy to check peak levels without constantly watching the screen. It gives consistent readings and is great for getting a quick SPL reference when dialing in volume. It’s small enough to throw in a gear bag and doesn’t require any complicated setup. For general monitoring at events, rehearsals, or testing spaces, this has been a solid and reliable tool.

Nice little dB meter for the money. I purchased this Tadeto digital sound level meter for two reasons: one for my motorcycle shop and one for my patio audio system to help with speaker placement. So far, it is working well for both. For the patio, speaker placement and getting the sound to reflect properly in an outdoor space is important. This meter helps take some of the guesswork out of it so I can check different locations and see what is actually happening with the sound instead of just guessing by ear. In the shop, people are always asking how much louder a new exhaust is compared to the one they took off, or how much louder a stereo upgrade is at the rider position compared to the previous setup. Now I can give them actual numbers from a meter instead of just saying, “Oh yeah, it sounds way louder.” This gives me hard data on what an exhaust, stereo upgrade, or motor/tune change does for sound. And we all know in the Harley world, sound is a big part of the experience. Overall, it is a handy little meter and a good value for what I need it for.

Ce petit sonomètre fait bien le boulot. Attention à tous les commentaires se plaignant que l'appareil indique 30 ou 40db dans des environnements silencieux... C'est tout simplement normal... Il suffit de se renseigner un minimum sur l'unité qu'est le db (et le db(A) au passage) pour comprendre un peu comment fonctionne l'acoustique et que ces valeurs ne sont pas linéaires. Il n'est sans doute pas aussi précis qu'un appareil professionnel mais est ce là son but ? Clairement Non ! Et les résultats qu'il renvoi semble parfaitement cohérents. Sa simplicité, son efficacité et son bas prix en font un petit accessoire recommandable !

good price and quality

Difficult to read on many audio sources. This is my first SPL meter so maybe just how they all are. Used it to calibrate a phone app which gives a much easier to read graph.
