SVAN 971 User Manual – Appendixes
Periodical test upper frequency 8 kHz
Linear Operating Ranges
Two measuring ranges are available: “LOW” and "HIGH".
The starting point at which tests of level linearity shall begin is 94.0 dB for the frequencies specifies below.
Table C.1.1. Linear operating range: “LOW” for the sinusoidal signal and microphone sensitivity 35 mV/Pa
Table C.1.2. Linear operating range: „HIGH“ (primary level range) for the sinusoidal signal and
microphone sensitivity 35 mV/Pa
Note: For the signals with the crest factor n > 1.41 upper measuring range of the RMS (LEQ
and SPL) is reduced. The valid upper limit can be calculated according to the below given
formula:
, where A is the upper limit for the sinusoidal signal
Example: For the crest factor n = 10 the upper limit is A10 = 120 dB
Measuring ranges
Reference measuring range of the acoustic pressure Low
Measuring frequency range of the acoustic pressure (-3 dB) 10 Hz ÷ 20 000 Hz.
Basic measurement error of the acoustic pressure < 0.7 dB (measured for the reference
conditions, see below).
