Watch out

  • R8050-KIT is the spot-check kit; R8080-KIT adds data logging.
  • SC-05 on the kit page is the R8090 calibrator.

Why people pick it

  • Meter and calibrator arrive together, so the R8050's ±1.4 dB accuracy can be checked at 94 or 114 dB before measurements, per the maker's pages
  • The R8050 is simple to use, with dual ranges, a backlit display and Max hold, and a Class 2 certification to IEC 61672-1
  • Hard case with laser-etched foam cut for exactly these instruments keeps the kit organized in a vehicle or bag
  • No software or setup needed: everything works out of the case with the included batteries

Know before you buy

  • No data logging or PC connection in this kit: readings are read-and-write-down
  • The R8050's frequency range tops out at 8 kHz, so very-high-frequency content is not captured
  • Kit bulk is larger than the bare meter: the case interior is 290 × 178 × 94 mm
