The XL2 provides, together with the measurement microphones M4260 (Class 2) or M2210 (Class 1 frequency response), a precise sound level meter for monitoring of live sound events and environmental noise. The instrument generates the 48V phantom power supply for the microphones and reads the included electronic data sheet of the M4260 and M2210 automatically. This enables faster set-up and ensures accurate measurements, the company says. Additionally the XL2 logs the calibration data and microphone serial number at each measurement.
The XL2 features four fast-access buttons and a rotary wheel for precise adjustments. The recorded measurement data can be transferred to PC either by the USB interface or directly from the Mini-SD card for later documentation.
The flexible user interface allows measurement screens to be personalised, with a limited subset of functionalities enabled for simplified operator interfaces. Advanced users may access all menus, settings and store their preferred measurement configurations.
