Acoustimeter (Rental)

The Acoustimeter has been designed to enable you to make a quick and informed judgement regarding the level and nature of microwave signals in your environment. It is a broadband instrument that accurately measures the totality of the radiation in the range 200 MHz to about 8000 MHz (8 GHz) which covers the frequencies used by most modern communication systems encountered in our everyday environment. The Acoustimeter was designed using the experience gained from many years of practical RF (radio frequency) and microwave measurements.

The readings are shown on both an LCD display and two scales of graduated LED lights. The LEDs update rapidly, and allow you to quickly gauge the levels in an area and find any hot-spots. The LCD display offers high accuracy with a lower update speed, giving you time to take note of the readings. It also has a speaker (audio output socket for headphones or to feed to an audio recorder), allowing you to determine, with a small amount of practice, what type of device is creating the levels that are present. Sound samples are available on the "Hear the Sounds" tab to help you identify what kind of signal your Acoustimeter is measuring.

The Acoustimeter is the result of four years of research and developement - the time was lengthened when the new WiFi frequencies and modulations were introduced which meant that we needed to expand the range that the Acoustimeter could reliably measure.

The Acoustimeter is a user-friendly accurate RF measurement instrument which provides LED light and LCD text display, peak hold, and average levels of radio frequency electromagnetic fields, covering the spectrum from TETRA all the way up to and beyond the latest 5.6 GHz WiFi and WiMax frequencies. It has a digital readout which is sensitive to 0.02 V/m and a sound output enabling you to hear the signal modulation. These features make the instrument the most useful one available to even those with severe electrosensitivity.

The Accoustimeter is also available as part of a rental pack with a saving of £10.00.

The Acoustimeter does not just emit one noise which covers the entire wireless world, it changes its sound according to the electrosmog it has detected. Here are some examples of the sounds you might hear: (click on the link to play the sound)
