From the project
Analog battery-powered sound level indicator, 60–95 dB(A) · Rilevatore sonoro analogico a batteria
Sonometer A1 è un rilevatore sonoro analogico alimentato da una pila da 9 V. Una barra cumulativa di otto LED visualizza livelli di progetto da 60 a 95 dB(A), a passi di 5 dB:
- verde: 60, 65 e 70 dB(A); - giallo: 75 e 80 dB(A); - rosso: 85, 90 e 95 dB(A).
Il percorso del segnale comprende microfono, preamplificatore, filtro di ponderazione A, convertitore RMS reale, comparatori e barra LED. Il dispositivo non usa microprocessori, firmware o componenti programmabili.
