About the Dateq SPL-D2 MKII

It can be used stand-alone or as a display for the Dateq SPL5 limiter. Peak Entertainment offers Dateq SPL-D2 MKII rental in Madrid and for events throughout Spain, a practical choice for sound engineers, venues and organisers who need the sound level in plain view.

What it is rented for

According to the manufacturer, the digits turn red when the level exceeds the preset threshold, giving the live band or DJ a visual warning. That makes it a good fit for concerts, DJ sets, venues, parties and events where decibel levels need watching throughout the performance. The threshold, calibration against a reference meter and display brightness are set with the PC software over USB. If you need more measurement gear, take a look at the SPL + RTA category in our catalogue.
