2. Sound level meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_level_meter

   A sound level meter (also called sound pressure level meter (SPL)) is used for acoustic measurements. It is commonly a hand-held instrument with a microphone. The best type of microphone for sound level meters is the condenser microphone, which combines precision with stability and reliability. [1]

3. Audio analyzer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Analyzer

   An audio analyzer is a test and measurement instrument used to objectively quantify the audio performance of electronic and electro-acoustical devices. Audio quality metrics cover a wide variety of parameters, including level, gain, noise, harmonic and intermodulation distortion, frequency response, relative phase of signals, interchannel crosstalk, and more.

4. Acoustical measurements and instrumentation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_measurements...

   Dynamic range is a measure of how small you can measure a signal relative to the maximum input signal the device can measure. Expressed in decibels, the dynamic range is 20 log (Vmax/Vmin). For example, a device with an input range of ±10 V and a dynamic range of 110 dB will be able to measure a signal as small as 10 μV.

5. VU meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VU_meter

   An analog VU meter with peak LED. A volume unit (VU) meter or standard volume indicator (SVI) is a device displaying a representation of the signal level in audio equipment.. The original design was proposed in the 1940 IRE paper, A New Standard Volume Indicator and Reference Level, written by experts from CBS, NBC, and Bell Telephone Laboratories. [1]

6. Audio system measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_system_measurements

   If one digital device is used to monitor another digital device, this will cause dropouts or distortion in the audio, as one device will be producing more or less data than the other per unit time. If two independent devices record at the same time, one will lag the other more and more over time.

7. Peak programme meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_programme_meter

   On typical, real-world audio signals, a quasi-PPM under-reads the true peak by 6 to 8 dB. [5] Nevertheless, quasi-PPMs are still widely used in the digital age because of their usefulness in achieving programme balance. Overloads are avoided by allowing, typically, 9 dB of headroom when controlling digital levels with a quasi-PPM.

8. Long-range acoustic device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_acoustic_device

   A long-range acoustic device (LRAD), acoustic hailing device (AHD) or sound cannon is a specialized loudspeaker that produces sound at high power for communicating at a distance. It has been used as a method of crowd control , which has caused permanent hearing damage , having an extremely high decibel capacity (up to 160 dB measured at one ...

9. Sound limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_limiter

   Sound limiters are commonly installed at live music venues, including private venues and particularly those that host wedding receptions with live wedding bands. [ citation needed ] The visual indicator on the limiter works most commonly on a “ traffic light ” system: green = no problem, amber = sound levels approaching the threshold, red ...
