The DATEQ SPL-D2 is a professional-grade sound pressure level (SPL) display designed for venues, studios, and live performance spaces where monitoring volume is critical for both safety and legal compliance.
Whether you are a club owner looking to adhere to local noise ordinances or a sound engineer managing a live stage, the SPL-D2 provides a clear, high-visibility reference that ensures you stay within your limits without compromising the energy of the room.
Dual-Mode Operation: Use it as a precision stand-alone decibel meter (with the included DCM-5 Class-2 microphone) or as an external display extension for the DATEQ SPL5 limiter.
High-Visibility LED Display: Features large, high-efficiency bi-colour LED digits that are easily readable from across a room. The display automatically dims in dark environments to ensure it isn’t a distraction while remaining perfectly legible.
Visual Warning System: Set your custom dB threshold via software; when the limit is exceeded, the digits instantly switch from green to red, providing an unmistakable visual cue to DJs and performers.
Precision Measurement: Supports ANSI-A, ANSI-B, and ANSI-C weighting curves, allowing you to tailor the measurement to specific regulatory requirements or acoustic needs.
Multi-Function LED Bar: The bottom LED bar can be configured to act as a standard sound pressure indicator (VU meter) or, when paired with an SPL5, as a reduction meter to show how much the limiter is attenuating the signal.
Advanced Control: Connect via USB to a Windows PC to adjust microphone sensitivity, brightness, and threshold levels using the dedicated configuration software.
The SPL-D2 is more than just a meter; it’s a tool for professional sound management. By providing real-time, color-coded feedback, it empowers performers to self-regulate their volume before a limiter is forced to intervene, resulting in a smoother, more consistent audio experience for the audience.
