Review: A nice cheap sound level meter with only minor flaws - I bought two different brand/models of sound meter. Since they can be found so cheap it was worth getting a second to compare results. In a room with a background reading of just under 40dB, using the slow update rate, both using the A weighting, thiis meter is typically within about 1 or 2dB of the other meter when reading: Ambient sound level Music at a pleasant volume White noise a 10 second 30Hz to 8kHz sweep (covering the docuented frequency response) Testing with a tone generator at 1kHz I also see deltas close enough to 3dB when halving or doubling the output amplitude. The sources aren't calibrated, an Android audio signal generator app via a bluetooth speaker that has dedicated filtering for music. Using a 1kHz tone and halving or doubling the amplitude I see a delta on the meter close enough to +/-3dB. Since both meters have a stated accuracy of +/-1.5dB with 0.1dB resolution I'm comfortable with readings from this device. In the C weighting mode the reading from the two meters differ typically by around 6dB using the same sources and peak difference is about 10dB. That is pretty severe (typically 4x linear power difference and up to 10x linear power difference between the two meters using C weighting). I wasn't using sources with high audio power levels, just the same ones as I tested the A weighting with. Of the two meters I bought I suspect from my observations that this model is the more accurate in the C weighting mode so trust this purchase more. Without using a calibrated signal source these observations are only illustrative speculation rather than verification of anything. The live level meter is quite nice, my other meter has a bar meter with lots of bars but is only actually capable of displaying three levels as a stepped scale whereas the bar meter on this is a continuous scale. It would be nicer if I could have the fast/slow display modes apply independently on the bar meter and the numeric dB reading, I'd like a fast bar meter but a slow numeric meter. The fast update mode is 8 times per-second for the displayed dB level on the LCD and is probably great for tuning a stable signal but I have to say I prefer the slow mode with an update per-second due to the less volatile and easier to follow meter number. It's nice that it has a min and max view giving a nicer perspective than my other device which only has a max view. Both have a button to hold the currently displayed level which can be helpful trying to judge the effective level at some point when using the high speed update rate. The LCD display is monochrome on this and color on my other meter but there's not a lot of use for color on a sound meter, other than perhaps the bar meter progressing towards red at high levels which this meter can't do, I prefer the microphone pop filter on my other meter over this where it's quite thin but both meters have the same size microphone protrusion I can swap the pop filters over when in use meaning the thinner one on this doesn't matter much to me The meter does quite a good job of filtering out user handling noise but not nearby ambient noise like moving or placing things close to it. It has a nice solid cover for the microphone and pop filter when unused but it always removes the pop filter when I take the cover off, leaving the filter inside the cover. It also has a temperature and humidity display. Thermometer seems accurate enough displaying Fahrenheit but the hygrometer looks like it under-reads others I have at home by 10% and I suspect the hygrometer on this has the error. On the whole I'm pleased using it to monitor and compare sound sources I experience.
Review: Works great, handy features, but should have 1/8" jack for using the mic separately - Perfectly good SPL meter. I do miss the good old analog meters -- I preferred them to ones with only numerical readouts, for watching the range of SPL when a band is playing. The little segment display works almost as well as those used to, plus we now get to choose the time constant (fast or slow response) which is nice. Also, the min/max feature is super helpful when setting up to record, so I can get a clue of how much headroom is needed. I also plan to use this to calibrate an SPL meter app on my phone, plus I'll be able to determine the useful range of the phone app, comparing the results to a calibrated meter. The temperature and humidity sensors are helpful too: checking the humidity of the room where I keep guitars, etc. The only missing feature is the ability we had with old meters to use the capsule mic independently. That is, meters used to have an RCA connector, so I could use it as a calibrated flat mic plugged into a computer to do room analysis, etc. A 3mm stereo jack for that would have been great. Another improvement would be to adjust the case so that the cap could be clipped onto the bottom, rather than it being another loose item to track.

## Features

- 2.25-inch LCD Screen with Backlight: This TS-501B sound level meter is measured noise levels are expressed in decibels and displayed on the 2.25-inch LCD screen, it easy to read on a big display design. Long press the backlight button to turn on a backlight, making it easy to view even in dim light
- Decibel Meter with A/C Weighting: TopTes TS-501B decibel meter uses a precise condenser microphone to capture sound. It’s equipped with A-weighting and C-weighting facilities that measure noise levels from 30 to 130 dB with an accuracy of 1.5 dB, Frequency from 30 to 8000Hz. Perfect for monitoring noise levels in communities, home theaters, audio systems, automobiles, workshops, schools, offices, factories

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why doesn’t the TS-501B show 0 dB in a quiet environment?**
A: The TS-501B measures from 30–130 dB and does not start at 0 dB. When sound levels are below 30 dB, it displays “UL” (Under Limit). In a quiet environment, it reads between 30 and 45 dB.

**Q: What scenarios are sound level meters usually used for?**
A: Sound level meters are often used for measuring community or environmental noise; Use for measuring noise produced by machinery in industries; Use for calibrating audio equipment at concerts or for personal reasons.

**Q: What is the difference between A Frequency Weighting and C Frequency Weighting?**
A: The A-weighting adjusts the sound pressure level readings to reflect the sensitivity of the human ear and is used for hearing damage risk measurements. The C-Weighting is used for Peak measurements and also in some entertainment noise measurements.

**Q: What is the difference MAX/MIN Value between A-Weighting and C-Weighting?**
A: MAX/MIN Value of A-Weighting is Lmax/Lmin (the highest and lowest values measured by the sound level meter over a given period of time.); MAX/MIN Value of C-Weighting is Lpeak (the max/min value of the absolute instantaneous sound pressure).

**Q: Decibel Levels: Typical Scenarios**
A: 30-40 dB: Library, bedroom. 50-60 dB: Restaurant, café. 70-80 dB: City roads, factory machinery. 90-100 dB: Rock concert. 110-130 dB: Jet airplanes, front row at a concert.
