I’m looking for your recommendations for an inexpensive handheld sound level meter to perform a test according to IEC/EN 61010-1 section 12.5.1 (Sound Level).
According to this standard, the meter should be a Type 1 according to IEC 60651 or IEC 60804, however, I understand that these standards are old and replaced by IEC 61672. I’ve seen labs that use a cheep sound meter from Radio Shack for under $100US and I’ve seen labs that use high tech systems costing a lot. I just need something simple and inexpensive that will meet the current requirements and intent of the safety standard. I would appreciate any and all recommendations. A source for purchasing such a meter would also be appreciated.
