Mr Rockwell Charles, Senior Environmental Protection Officer at Hackney Council
I finally contacted AcSoft / Svantek and spoke with Aidan Hubbard who was not only extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but also offered to visit our offices in person to give the team a free demonstration of the SVAN 977 Class 1 Sound and Vibration Level Meter and the SvanPC++ software.
After the presentation, we were allowed to hold onto a Svan 977 for 1 week to familiarise ourselves with the operation, however we confirmed our purchase within 2 days.
The robust built quality of the 977 was second to none, it’s functionality allowed frequency analysis and Z,A & C weighting measurements simultaneously.
Most importantly SVAN 977 Class 1 Sound and Vibration Level Meter operation was self-intuitive and surpassed our expectations for future noise investigations (i.e BS.4142:2014+A1:2019, BS8233:2014)
