Legacy Sound Level Meter Rental

Measure Noise with Meters and Kits

A variety of legacy sound level meters is available to rent. Users who have rented these meters in past or for whom cost is a deciding factor may be interested in these models. Contact the rental team for details on these models.


Larson Davis Model 824

Model 824 (now retired) was primarily used for its unique capabilities ranging from use with 0 V and 200 V condenser microphones to audiometry testing. Its use as an environmental monitor has waned due to the superior memory, connectivity, and low-power consumption of the SoundAdvisor Model 831C.

Larson Davis Model 820

Model 820 (now retired) was an industry standard environmental noise monitor and remains a popular choice for those familiar with the platform. The lack of ability to measure 1/1 or 1/3 octave data, limited memory and serial interface tend to make the 820 a meter most often used by those who have used it in the past, but the low price point makes it an economical logging system.
