3. Għażla tal-Ponderazzjoni tal-Kont Attiv

  • The TS-501B supports both A-weighting and C-weighting.
  • To switch between A-weighting and C-weighting, long press the ° C / ° F button. The selected weighting (A or C) will be displayed on the screen.
  • Ponderazzjoni-A: Measures noise levels as perceived by the human ear (30-130 dBA). Suitable for general noise measurements in communities, offices, and residential areas.
  • Ponderazzjoni-C: Measures the actual sound pressure level across a wider frequency range (30-130 dBC). Ideal for analyzing industrial noise, audio systems, and environments with significant low-frequency components.
