Optimus+ Yellow Basic Sound Level Meter
The Optimus+ Yellow is a state-of-the-art noise level meter that has been designed by the engineers at Cirrus Research to meet the very latest international standards in sound measuring and monitoring.
Most suited for applications where only basic noise level data is required, the Optimus+ Yellow can record the sound pressure level (SPL), maximum sound level (LMax) in decibels, which refers to the loudest recorded noise level during a period of data capturing, and on specific variants, allows for data logging of the sound levels measured over a user-defined period of time. This data will give you a basic understanding of the noise levels where you are measuring, and will allow you to identify any particular noise hotspots.
It has a bright and easy-to-read colur display allowing you to see the noise level in decibels (dB) in real-time on-screen, providing you with a clear and instant indication of the sound levels measured.
Optimus+ Red Noise at Work Sound Level Meter
By measuring every parameter you need simultaneously, you can be sure that your occupational noise survey will be comprehensive and robust, providing the level of detail required for making better-informed decisions and reporting to key stakeholders within your organisation.
All of your measurement data can be displayed on the large screen, so you can see straight away if there are any occupational noise problems in your workplace. You can easily navigate screens to see the data you need during measurements.
The Advanced doseBadge5 Noise Dosimeter
The Advanced doseBadge5 is powerful yet simple-to-use ensuring that you can gather robust, reliable information that can be used effectively for the assessment of occupational noise exposures and includes all of the unique features of the original doseBadge such as no controls, cables or displays with a range of new functions and features.
In addition to the 4 independent channels or integrators (which can be configured to meet any combination of Regulations, Standards or Guidelines), the doseBadge5 also now provides real-time octave band analysis over the entire measurement and when combined with the NoiseTools software, allows individual noise sources to be identified, making the selection of hearing protection, quicker, simpler and more effective.
The Original doseBadge Noise Dosimeter
Combining an innovative design with simple, robust and reliable operation, the Original doseBadge weighs only 51g/1.8oz.
With no cables, controls or displays, the Original doseBadge can be worn in areas where there is a risk of damaging traditional style units or where there is a risk of tampering.
Designed and manufactured by Cirrus Research plc, the doseBadge is an innovative instrument that is ideal for measuring and assessing the noise exposure of workers and employees across all locations.
Quantum Indoor Noise Monitor
Quantum Indoor is the perfect complementary solution to any existing noise monitoring regime as it offers all the freedom and benefits that come with remote outdoor noise monitors, but specifically designed for an indoor application. It provides a constant ear to the ground, constantly capturing and storing noise data on the MyCirrus cloud platform for you to access whenever you need it. You can also set up comprehensive event-based triggers to capture audio recordings and send alerts to users, allowing you to react to and control noise events in real-time.
Quantum Indoor is available with flexible subscription plans, allowing you to increase the amount of data you can store as well as enhancing the functionality of your Quantum noise monitoring network.

SoundSign Noise Wanring Signs
The SoundSign uses bright LEDs to display a message when the noise level you select has been breached; the level can range from 40dB(A) to 114dB(A). The SoundSign is absolutely perfect for environments such as factories and workshops as it can serve as a visual alert or reminder for your staff to wear their hearing protection. It's also great for quiet environments like schools, hospitals and libraries as it will act as a silent reminder for people to keep the noise levels down.
Available in four distinct designs and in multiple languages, the SoundSign can be used in any environment, almost anywhere in the world. Along with noise measurement equipment, the SoundSign is the perfect way to help you control noise levels in the workplace, thereby compling with health and safety legislation.

Measurement Microphone Capsules & Preamplifiers
The Class+ Microphones are a range of high performance ½” Pre-polarised Electret condenser capsules designed for use on Sound Level Meters and Noise Measurement Equipment. The range also includes a wide range of accessories that enhance the performance of the Class+ Capsules.
All of the Class+ capsules are based on the same technology, with all of the capsules being mechanically compatible.
At the top of the range, the MK:224 capsule is fitted to several leading brands of Sound Level Meters as well as PC based instruments and Noise Monitoring Systems. In many applications, the use of the most accurate microphone capsule is excessive, and a lower specification can be accepted. In these situations, the Class+ microphone capsules are ideal replacements for existing units at significantly lower cost, often less than 50% of competing units in OEM applications.
The MK:224 is the most accurate and stable of the Class+ Microphone capsules and is used on the Cirrus Research plc Class 1 Sound Level Meters, Noise Analysers and Noise Monitoring Systems. The excellent long term stability and temperature stability allow the capsule to be used in long term outdoor monitoring applications, and has been in use in Cirrus Research plc Airport Noise Monitoring systems over periods of many years.
The MK:216 is the Class 2 variant of the MK:224 and is fitted as standard to the Class 2 Optimus sound level meters
NoiseTools Software
For many users, the most challenging part of a noise survey is the reporting and analysis of the results and so having a simple way to view, analyse and print the information is essential. NoiseTools gives you a range of tools to report and analyse your noise data quickly and easily.
The standard version of NoiseTools is supplied with the Optimus Sound Level Meters, doseBadge Noise Dosimeters and the Trojan Noise Nuisance Recorders. The functions available in the software are determined by the instrument that the measurement was made with, making analysis quick, simple and straight forward.
NoiseAid for Noise Nuisance
To help you determine how and where to best use your equipment, as well as make it simple for your end-users to report and log noise events, we've created NoiseAid.
NoiseAid is a web-based application that gives you and your users a quick, simple way to gather information about the noise sources that they are concerned about. Users can instantly log noise disturbances via any smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer using the simple interface, adding notes when the noise has ended.
Details of the noise sources logged by users are stored directly onto a secure website portal, ready for you to review, analyse and assess.
NoiseAid gives you a simple, powerful tool to help you get the best from your noise measurement equipment and is FREE for Cirrus Trojan customers.
