Previously having used the AL1, Nicholson was impressed with the replacement XL2 and took it away from the show. He has already used it at a concert for SPL and FFT mapping and for RT60 and STI measurements at a prestigious installation project on behalf of an audio consultancy company.Nicholson commented: "The XL2 is a brilliant audio tool. It's really simple to use and gives me quick, accurate measurements of all the required audio parameters. The packaging is also first class from the handsets, accessories, to the rugged metal case. Recording and reporting is also simple and clear enabling me to print out reports on site. I can't think of a better pro audio measurement system."
Berno Nigsch of NTi Audio explained: "Red Square Audio received the first XL2 Audio and Acoustic Analyzer straight from the factory. Their loyalty for many years to high quality measurement solutions of NTi Audio has been awarded with the proud first ownership. The XL2 forms the unique combination of a state-of-the-art Sound Level Meter, a comprehensive Acoustical Analyzer as well as a powerful Audio Analyzer. The wide range of functionalities is tailored for Live Sound, Installed Sound, Studios, Service and Environmental Noise measurements."
Together with the M4260 or M2210 measurement microphones, the XL2 provides a precise sound level meter for monitoring of live sound events and environmental noise. It also features further measurement functions for an in-depth acoustical analysis and audio signal verifications.
