Core Monitoring Capability
Shoulder Worn Dose Meter
All Workplace Noise Parameters Simultaneously
300 Hours Run Data Storage
Typically 35 Hours Broadband Runtime
Key Features
Simultaneous Noise Parameter Measurement
The dBadge2 measures all workplace noise parameters simultaneously, making it suitable for comprehensive occupational noise exposure monitoring in one measurement run.
Wide Operating and Peak Ranges
Supports 55.0-140.3 dB(A) RMS linear operating range and 90.0-143.3 dB peak measurement range with C or Z weighting.
Strong Internal Storage Capacity
Internal USB flash memory stores up to 300 hours of run data, including 1-second profile data, and up to 90 minutes of event audio recording.
Long Runtime Performance
The meter typically provides 35 hours using Broadband Mode and typically 15 hours using Octave mode, supporting extended workplace monitoring sessions.
Multiple Weighting Options
Supports A, C and Z Type 2 frequency weightings, Fast, Slow and Impulse time weightings, and Q=3 or Q=5 dB exchange rates.
IP65 Workplace Protection
The compact 117g unit includes an IP65 environmental rating with a permeable air vent, supporting practical use in demanding workplace environments.
