Turn Noise into Intelligence with the NL1. Stop guessing and know exactly where the noise comes from.

Somewhere today, a noise professional finds themselves having to ask a fundamental question: “Where is that noise really coming from?” And too often, the honest answer is: “We’re not sure.”

On construction sites, in industrial facilities, along transport corridors, or in urban areas, noise is rarely simple. Multiple sources, reflections, and weather can mask the true origin. This is a real issue, and it’s exactly why we created the NL1 Noise Locator. Measuring noise levels alone is no longer enough, you also need direction. Authorities, clients, and communities don’t just want numbers - they want answers:

• What is making the noise? From which direction? At what height? Right now?

Without this clarity, you fix things too late - or fix the wrong thing, compliance becomes a fight, and regulators, neighbors, and clients stop trusting you.

The NL1 takes out the guesswork

It pinpoints the direction of the dominant noise source in real time. Using a unique 12-probe sound intensity architecture, the NL1 identifies both Direction (azimuth – like a compass) and Elevation (how high the sound comes from). Even in complex, reflective, or windy environments where conventional microphones fail, the NL1 delivers synchronized data that turns noise into intelligence. Make faster, easier, and better decisions - while saving time and cost.

Key Capabilities

• Direction and intensity analysis from 63 Hz–4 kHz (A-weighted)
• Smart Quality Indicator (Q) to validate data in complex noise situations
• Time resolution: 100 ms or 1 s
• Seamless USB integration with the XL3 Acoustic Analyzer for synchronized logging
