About

Soundra dB Meter

Features
Read full description

Soundra helps creators, podcasters, and video makers quickly check their recording environment before capture. It shows real-time sound level, room tone, voice peak, average, max, duration, peak hold, calibration, and A/C/Z weighting controls in a hardware-inspired meter interface. Soundra is not just a visual skin. The METER, CHECK, and LOG keys switch between live metering, sound check, and measurement logs. The CALIBRATION knob adjusts the calibration offset, while the A/C/Z WEIGHTING switch changes the weighting mode. Each control updates the readings, status lights, and tactile interface feedback for a hardware-like sound meter experience. Soundra is designed for recording preparation and everyday reference checks. It is not a certified legal, medical, occupational, or laboratory sound level meter.
