    Works Awesome

    I work in a manufacturing plant and we regularly check the sound levels to make sure we are using the right hearing protection. We have been using the Amprobe SM-20-A Sound Meter for a while now and its ease of use and simple operations make for quick and easy testing. Love it and recommend it to everyone.

    ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.

    This Product Confirmed The Level Of Noise Contributing To My Hearing Loss

    I was amazed,It not only proved to be invaluble in my work, but to prove that the levels I was trying to prove were causing my hearing loss were confirmed by the SM-20. Lightweight And accurate to + or – 1.5dB. A great audio measuring tool at a great price

    ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.

    Great Product Great Price

    I needed a sound meter for doing PA system work to justify the additional speakers in certain areas that have a higher ambient noise. This Sound Meter gave me real numbers to present real data to my customers. The sound meter is simple, durable, and easy to use. It now a part of my regular use collection of tools.

    ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.

  4. Wirenutz

    Quality tester for industrial applications

    We use this unit for level matching equipment in high noise areas. We are able to present hard data to our customers proving our efforts and documenting results.
    Amprobe equipment is top notch and always have great results with it. The DMM’s are great as well.

    ✔ Yes, I recommend this product.
