Tests of a small, compact, self-contained sound measuring apparatus with a rated dynamic range of 50 to 146 decibels re 0.0002 microbar are reported. The instrument tested was a General Radio Type 1555-AS3 Sound Survey Meter with a ceramic microphone on an extension cable. Frequency response of the meter was investigated as a function of sound pressure level.
