Athough all our meters are delivered with a calibration certificates it is good practice to apply a calibrator, just before and after the measurements to check the instrument is OK and hasn't been damaged in transit. Not only do we recommend this but it standard practice to include these tests noting the type and serial number of the calibrator in reports.
Here is a list of our sound and vibration calibrators.

** 1/4 inch couplers available for these calibrators - add to order if required.
