We’re proud to announce the launch of the new GPS-enabled Optimus+ sound level meter, designed to make environmental noise monitoring easier and more effective than ever before.
The Optimus+ GPS builds on the incredible technology of Cirrus’ iconic Optimus range, by providing highly accurate location data for every measurement that’s taken. Optimus+ GPS automatically stores location data with each reading, which can be analysed in our licence-free data reporting software, NoiseTools.
There’s no need to purchase a whole new noise measurement instrument to benefit from the GPS functionality, you can simply purchase the module and add it to your existing Optimus+ Red or Green device. It’s also available as a full sound level meter kit.
With optimised battery life, the Optimus+ GPS is perfect for taking environmental noise measurements. The industry-leading time to first fix means that it is easier and faster than ever before to connect the module to a GPS signal.
Find your way through the noise with Optimus+ GPS from Cirrus Research.

The CR:465 Galactus instruments are a range of high performance noise monitors that have been designed to integrate with external data loggers and environmental measurement systems and to provide a comprehensive set of acoustic data.
Comprising a processor unit and a fully weather protected microphone system, the Galactus instruments meet the Class 1 requirements of IEC 61672 and IEC 61260 and can provide a comprehensive set of user configurable acoustic data parameters via an industry standard RS232 protocol.
The Galactus instruments can provide the acoustic information required to calculate the parameters defined in ISO 20906:2009 making the units ideal for the monitoring and measurement of unattended aircraft noise.
The CR:465 Galactus instruments are controlled by a set of commands that are sent to the unit via a standard RS232 communications protocol.
This allows for full external control of all aspects of the instrument, including calibration and verification using the electrostatic actuator system. This allows the units to be integrated quickly and easily alongside other sensors and data sources.
Measurement data is returned as packets of information via the RS232 port with the packets sent at either 1 second or 0,5 second intervals. These packets can contain any of the acoustic measurement values which can be configured to suit the application in which the instrument is being used.
To allow for the calculation of Ln values in accordance with ISO 20906:2009 “Acoustics – Unattended monitoring of aircraft sound in the vicinity of airports”, the data packets can contain 1/8th second LAS data points allowing exceedence levels (% LN values) to be calculated.
