Developed to meet the latest industry standards for noise measurement and released in 2013, the new generation Pulsar Nova is set to redefine the measurement of sound.
With a range of 6 models, the Nova appeals to all users of Sound Level decibel meters, from entry level general noise levels, right through to occupational and health and safety exposure measurements, professional acoustic technicians, and everyone in between.
The state-of-the-art new Nova has been ergonomically designed, with its unique shape maximising comfort, ease of use and simplicity of accurate measurement.
The combination of a rugged metal casing and a high definition colour OLED, large anti-glare display, make the Pulsar Nova the most robust sound level meter on the market.
All this is achieved whilst remaining easy to use and a cost effective solution to noise measurement in the workplace.
Key features of the new Nova are;
- Real-time fast simultaneous measurement of all key parameters
- Robust metal construction
- Manual Audio Record (message to user before start of measurement)
- 30sec Audio Note (can be recorded during the sound measurement)
- Back Erase (user can erase part of the data due to disturbances)
- Calibration prompt alerts user of recalibration
- High resolution easy to read OLED display
- Wide 20dBA - 140dBA measurement range
- Removable CF card
- Up to 30 hours continuous battery life
- Full upgradeability
Unlike many other highly advanced and fully featured sound level meters, the Nova stays true to Pulsar's approach of ease of use equipment.
The intuitive menu on the Nova is so simple to navigate, with all the applicable measurements clear and easy to read.
The user can even personalise the meter, by choosing which measurement data he/she wants to appear on their Nova.
The multi-dialect menu accomodates for English, Spanish, French, German & Italian languages.
All this from a meter than has been conceived, designed, developed and manufactured in Yorkshire in Britain.
For longterm outdoor environmental monitoring, an optional kit is available and measurements can be downloaded remotely via GSM.
If the calibration testing of the Nova meter is maintained as per calibration dates, the warranty of the Nova extends to 7 years!

The Model 41 & 42 are the entry level meters in the Nova range.
Utilising the latest digital platform of the Nova range along with the large, high resolution colour OLED screen, the 41 & 42 are basic, easy to use Class 1
(Model 41) and Class 2 (Model 42) sound level meters designed to measure general sound level (decibels) in your location/environment.
These meters are the ideal choice where integrated noise levels such as
LEQ or L10 are not required, yet the highest accuracy and quality are required as well future upgradeability.
Data logging, LEQ, Ln values, 1:1 Octave plus a range of other key Nova features can be added to the Nova 41 & 42 either upon purchase or at a
later stage.
The Model 41 & 42 can be purchased as meters only or as a full measurement kit incl. calibrators, wind shields, carry cases and tripods.
The Model 43 & 44 are the mid range meters in the Nova range.
They have all the features and functionality of the entry level 41 & 42 sound level meters with the addition of LEQ integrated measured values, Peak
(incl. C-A Quick Integrator Settings) for the HML method of hearing protection calculation.
The Pause/Back erase feature also comes standard on the Model 43 & 44.
The Model 43 & 44 are ideal instruments if you are a safety professional looking to meet any occupational noise or industrial regulations.
Data logging, Ln values, 1:1 Octave plus a range of other key Nova features can be added to the Nova 41 & 42 either upon purchase or at a
later stage.
The Model 43 & 44 can be purchased as meters only or as a full measurement kit incl. calibrators, wind shields, carry cases and tripods.
The Model 45 & 46 are the premium meters in the Nova range.
These sound level meters feature the full suite of Nova technologies.
The 45 & 46 meters offer a versatile and high performance approach to noise measurement.
They are suitable for professional acoustic technicians who require all the features of the Nova meters.
Standard on the Model 45 & 46 is Data logging, LEQ, Ln values, Real-time 1:1 Octave Band filter Analysis (31.5Hz to 16kHz), Audio Record and
Audio Note, TWA/Dose and Repeat Timer.
There are no additional upgrades for the 45 & 46 meters.
The Model 45 & 46 can be purchased as meters only or as a full measurement kit incl. calibrators, wind shields, carry cases and tripods.
