Options

The NA-28 meter is built to be expandable and upgradable. Each unit includes Rion’s 18-month warranty. All program options are designed for easy installation through Rion’s streamlined installation process, which is both quick and user-friendly. Each option is pre-installed on CF cards, enabling users to independently install the software by inserting the CF card into the instrument and following the installation procedure. Furthermore, the same CF cards can be used to uninstall the options for installation and use on different meters, as needed.

Additional Program Options:

NX-28WR is a program option that provides the NA-28 with recording functions. Using the NA-28 and NX-28WR in combination makes it possible to measure sound pressure levels together with sound pressure waveforms during frequency analysis. Since the data are recorded in uncompressed WAVE files, they can be handled with software compatible with the WAVE and analyzed.

This program option enables the possibility to perform FFT frequency analysis within a frequency range of 20 kHz and a frequency resolution of 2.5 Hz (8,000 spectrum lines). Supported frequency windows include Hanning and Rectangular.

NX-28BA is a program option used in NA-28 for simple and easy measurement of airborne and floor impact sound insulation of buildings and the reverberation time. The measurements conforming to ISO and single-number quantities can also be calculated by the main body of NA-28. Data is stored as text files. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with the waveform recording card NX-28WR, sound waveforms during measurement can be recorded simultaneously. Supports ISO 140, ISO 717, and ISO 16032 series standard.

Accessories
