Review: Does exactly what it's designed to do. - I'm very pleased with my Reed R8060 Sound Meter. It does exactly what it is designed to do, accurately measure sound levels. If you want to be very accurate you need to buy the Reed R8090 Sound Level Calibrator. My R8060 meter came within specs but I was able to improve its accuracy with the R8090. If you want to be super accurate industry best practice is to calibrate every time you are going to use the sound meter then check the calibration again after taking measurements.
Review: Basic Sound Level Meter - Price OK for a very basic Class 2 meter. Companion calibration tool way too expensive. You can get another brand for half the price elsewhere. Bar graph is worthless. In general, it yields slightly higher, but relatively comparable, dB(A) levels to a cheapo meter that we had, but wasn't "Class 2." If County accepts the data from the Reed meter and enforces the local noise ordinance, it will be well worth the price. In that event, I'll increase rating to 5.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the frequency range?**
A: Hello, the frequency range is 20 Hz to 8 kHz .

**Q: Does the backlight stay on while the unit is turned on?**
A: Thank you for your question. Here is the answer from the manufacturer: 
The REED R8050 has a backlight that can be toggled by the user. It does not have to stay on while the unit is turned on. Please note that the REED R8060 does not have a backlight.

**Q: What is the frequency response for this unit?  +/- 1.4 dB between what frequency range?**
A: The +/- is good for the range of the weighting curve, A or C you are on.
Check the web for SPL weighting curves for more detail.

**Q: we need to monitor 8 hours in a production plant is this unit capable?**
A: We use this sound meter for accurate spot measurements in different locations.   I believe this can be connected to a computer to log data, but we have not tried that, and a simple dosimeter/datalogger that is standalone is in my opinion much more convenient  for continuous monitoring purposes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A well made instrument
*by R***N on November 24, 2022*

I've learned a lot about sound by using this meter. Speakers are always measured by their volume at one meter with one watt of input. That's commonly between 85 and 90 dB, but I was surprised to measure how dramatically that volume decreases by the time I get to my sofa. I particularly like its ability to lock on either the minimum or maximum volume when I'm monitoring traffic and trying to decrease the noise that makes it into our house.
