FAQ Component

Frequently asked questions

What is a sound level calibrator used for?

A sound level calibrator is used to verify the accuracy of a sound level meter before and after measurements by generating a precise tone, typically 94 dB at 1 kHz.

How often should I calibrate my sound level meter?

You should check your meter’s calibration daily before and after use, and have it professionally calibrated every two years for certified accuracy.

Can I rely on the meter’s internal calibration check?

No, because internal checks don’t test the microphone, the most sensitive part of the system so an external calibrator is essential.

Why is regular calibration important?

Calibration ensures that environmental factors or wear haven’t affected your meter’s accuracy, maintaining reliable and compliant noise measurements.

Which sound level meters can be calibrated using the SV 33B?

The SV 33B is compatible with Class 1 and Class 2 sound level meters and dosimeters equipped with ½″ microphones.

How often should the SV 33B be verified?

Svantek recommends verification at an accredited laboratory every two years to maintain compliance and traceable accuracy.

Does the SV 33B require manual adjustment during calibration?

No, its automatic signal regulation eliminates the need for manual corrections, ensuring precise and repeatable calibration results.
