SV 971A
Class 1 monitoring in your pocket
The SV 971A Class 1 sound level meter is designed for occupational noise and building acoustics measurements.
Features of the SV 971A
The Smallest Class 1 SLM
The Class 1 meter has been equipped with a new measuring microphone offering a LAeq linear measurement range from 27 to 137 dB (140 dB Peak) in a single range!
The microphone’s improved design ensures even better long-term stability of microphone sensitivity.
The SV 971A uses the new low-power Bluetooth® interface allowing current results to be previewed on a smartphone or tablet as well as controlling measurement with Start/Stop functionality. The Building Acoustics Assistant Application also signals an alarm when set noise limits are exceeded.
Along with the new hardware additions, the SV 971A has been equipped with a new internal program that supports the reverberation time RT 60 measurement and STIPA speech intelligibility measurements, both supported by a mobile application.

Take your pick from our extensive SV 971A modules, from our best selling starter pack, to our more advanced options. Looking to carry out environmental measurements? Our MOLES kit transforms your handheld SLM into a full prepared environmental noise monitor.
Building Acoustics
Measure reverberation time and room performance
Occupational Noise
Protect your team and maintain compliance
Environmental Noise
Carry out professional outdoor assessments.
Speech Intelligibility
Assess public spaces and communication systems.
Starter Pack
The starter pack provides everything you need to carry out Class 1 measurements straight out the box. This includes 1/1 and 1/3 octave band analysis, audio recording and a protective carry case.
This is an ideal choice for health & safety professionals, conultant and anyone carrying out routine noise assesments.
Advanced Pack
Building on the starter pack, the advanced pack adds in a Class 1 acoustic calibrator. This allows users to verify meter performance, conduct spot calibrations, and maintain consistency in their measurements.
This is ideal for regular field measurements where calibration verification is required.
Professional Pack
This is the complete measurement solution, combining the SV 971A, Class 1 calibrator and an environmental module license for SvanPC++.
Designed for consultants and advanced users, it provides enhanced data analysis, reporting, and environmental noise assessment capabilities
Reverberation Time Pack
Built from the starter pack, this package adds the RT60 reverberation time measurement option, allowing users to assess room acoustics and reverberation performance.
It’s ideal for those carrying out building acoustics testing and room acoustic evaluations.
Reverberation Time ++ Pack
This has all the capabilities of the Reverberation Pack, but with included UKAS calibration. It is suited to professionals who require documented calibration as part of their testing procedures.
This is ideal for professional building acoustics surveys where calibrated, traceable measurements are required.
MOLES 2.0 Kit
The MOLES 2.0 transforms your 971A into an environmental meter, housed inside a protective case with an internal battery life of up to 4 weeks. There are also external battery options.
it allows for medium to long-term unattended sound monitoring in all conditions. Its lightweight and small design means it is perfect for conducting noise analysis in any location.
Control Your Meter on Your Mobile
The SV 971A has bluetooth capabilties, allowing it to connect to mobile phones. This allows you to view measurements,
The Assistant pro app enables professionals in occupational safety, environmental monitoring, and engineering to control measurement processes and validate data directly on Android or iOS devices.
The app provides on site data analysis with remote measurement control. Assistant pro also provides SvanNET integration, allowing users to link their meters to online projects.
Health & Safety with Supervisor
The Supervisor software package supports the SV 971A, providing a simple way to organise, analyse and report on noise measurement data.
Measurements are automatically categorised by instrument and date, making results easy to find and review.
Supervisor also includes advanced analysis tools and custom report templates, helping users quickly generate professional noise assessment reports.
