Octave Band Filters and automatic hearing protection prescription
This version of the Nova has real time 1:1 octave bands included as standard meaning that it measures all the noise frequency bands at the same time – parallel filters. The most common use for this is for the correct selection of hearing protection (hearing defenders). As octave band filters allow the frequency content of noise to be measured and analysed it is possible to prescribe hearing PPE that attenuates noise at the right frequencies.
Our outstanding Pulsar ‘AnalyzerPlus’ reporting software (supplied as standard), comes with a comprehensive list of modern hearing PPE. The software takes the measured octave band frequency data and calculates the assumed level of hearing protection at the ear allowing the user to prescribe the correct level of protection.
Easy to use and effortless reporting
Our license-free AnalyzerPlus software, also allows you to store your measurements in the large internal memory and then effortlessly transform your measurements into a variety of reports at the touch of a button.

The ability to comply with Noise at Work Regulations is an essential requirement for a venue such as ours. From the start, we wanted to invest in a trusted brand and a meter that would offer us the right specification and the latest technology to help us achieve compliance. We chose the Nova sound meter from local company Pulsar Instruments plc which meets all our key requirements and we are delighted with its performance.
