PULSAR NOVA 41 & 42 – Entry-Level Decibel Meters

The PULSAR NOVA MODEL 41 & MODEL 42 deliver professional-grade noise measurement performance at an accessible price. Designed for straightforward operation, these entry-level Class 1 and Class 2 sound level meters combine ease of use, accuracy, and reliability, making them the ideal tools for quick workplace noise assessments, system testing, and general sound level monitoring.

Despite their affordability, these sound meters retain the high quality and precision that define the Pulsar Nova range. Compliant with International Occupational Noise and Industrial Hygiene standards, the Model 41 (Class 1) and Model 42 (Class 2) are built to ensure your measurements remain accurate, compliant, and effortless, helping you stay on top of Health and Safety requirements with confidence.

How It Works

The Nova Model 41 and 42 simultaneously measure all key acoustic parameters, giving you a complete noise profile in a single reading. Their TFT display ensures clear visibility of data in any lighting condition, while the calibration prompt ensures every measurement remains fully compliant and accurate.

Both models operate across a dynamic measurement range of 20 dB(A) to 140 dB(A), suitable for most industrial and environmental applications. The meters can also be upgraded with data logging at any time, transforming them into powerful long-term monitoring tools without the need for replacement hardware.
