The MiniSPL is a portable, accurate sound pressure level (SPL) measurement microphone with a measurement range of 20 Hz to 120 kHz and accuracy of ±0.5 dB, featuring built-in calibration and measurement software.
The MiniSPL manual provides a complete overview of the package contents, warranty terms and step‑by‑step instructions for connecting the microphone to a Minilyzer or using it as a stand‑alone device. It also includes safety notes, battery installation guidance and technical specifications.
Key sections cover the status‑LED indications, required load conditions, phantom‑power handling, and detailed technical data such as sensitivity, frequency response and environmental limits.
