Choose Your AWA5636 Model

AWA5636-1 – Basic

The entry-level version for straightforward professional sound level measurements.

Ideal where Class 2 measurement of current and maximum noise levels is required without integrating or statistical analysis.

Measures: Lp and Lmax.

AWA5636-2 – Integrating

Designed for applications where time-averaged noise measurements such as Leq are required.

A good choice for workplace noise, machinery testing, environmental surveys and general professional noise assessment.

Measures include: Lp, Leq, Lmax, Lmin, SEL, sound exposure E and Leq,T.

AWA5636-3 – Online Monitoring

Designed for continuous and online noise monitoring applications.

The AWA5636-3 provides short-interval equivalent sound level measurements and is suited to integration into continuous noise monitoring systems.

Measures include: Lp, Leq 1s and Lmax.

AWA5636-4 – Advanced

The most capable version in the AWA5636 Series.

It adds statistical and occupational noise exposure functions for more advanced workplace and environmental assessments.

Functions include:

• Statistical Ln values
• TWA
• Lex,8h
• Lavg
• Noise Dose
• Standard deviation
• Lpeak
• Date and time stamping
• Measurement data storage

Optional Accessories & Add-ons

The AWA5636 can be supplied with additional accessories to suit field measurement, calibration, monitoring and data-transfer requirements.

Help Me Choose

Sound Level Meters

The AWA5636 is the best starting point where Class 2 accuracy is suitable.

Step up to the AWA5662 when Class 1 accuracy is required while keeping the instrument straightforward and cost-effective.

Choose the AWA6228+ where greater configuration flexibility or advanced functions such as FFT, reverberation, detailed frequency analysis or GPS are required.

The AWA6292 is intended for more specialised acoustic applications including advanced frequency analysis, reverberation and STI measurement.
