Precautionary guidance

  • Keep weighting curves consistent in reports.
  • Use the 20 microPa reference for SPL.
  • Document microphone calibration data.
  • Recheck conversions after averaging.
  • Log measurement distance and setup.
  • Maintain precision for compliance reviews.

Track both SPL and Pascals for audit-ready acoustics logs.
