4.2 Selecció de ponderació del aire condicionat
The TS-501B supports both A-weighting and C-weighting for different measurement needs:
- A-Weighting (dBA): Simulates the human ear's response to sound, commonly used for environmental noise assessment.
- C-Weighting (dBC): Provides a flatter response, suitable for measuring the true sound pressure level of machinery or low-frequency noise.
To switch between A and C weighting, long press the C / F button for 2 seconds. The active weighting mode (A or C) will be indicated on the display.
