About the
2238 Mediator
Standards
2238 Mediator Integrating Sound
Level Meter complies with
the coming IEC 1672 Class 1 standard. This standard will
supersede the IEC 651 and IEC 804 Type 1 standards. This
implies that the Mediator also complies with current inter-
national and national standards. The Mediator is categorized
as a Group X sound
Level Meter according to IEC 1672, i.e. a
self-contained battery-operated instrument that requires no
external connections to other apparatus to measure sound
levels.
Basic Configuration
The Mediator comprises the following:
●

How Mediator Works
The Mediator can be configured to a wide range of require-
ments with different
Software packages or a combination of
these packages. You can easily upgrade the
Software via the
serial RS – 232
Interface or it can be performed at a
Brüel & Kjær service centre. The Frequency Analysis Soft-
ware option requires Type
2238 – A – F (with
Filter set) or
a hardware upgrade (installation of
Filter set
2238 MUF), that
must be made at a Brüel & Kjær service centre. If the Medi-
ator is ordered with Frequency Analysis
Software BZ 7123,
the
Filter set is part of the instrument.
Refer to the block diagram in Fig.1.1 for an overview of how
the Mediator works. The signal from the microphone is fed
through the appropriate amplifiers, the desired filters (“A”,
“C”, “L” or octave filters (if fitted)) and correction filters
(“Sound Incidence”, “Windscreen”). The multiplexer switches
two signals (either the same signal or with different weight-
ings) through to the RMS and the RMS/Peak detectors and
succeeding Time Weighting filters. At this point the signals
are still in the analogue domain. The signals are now con-
verted in the D/A-converter and all subsequent signal process-
ing is in the digital domain. Finally the signals are fed
through the D/A-converter and the buffered signals are out-
put to the Aux 1 and Aux 2 connectors via the multiplexer.
Detectors
One of the main features of the Mediator is that it contains
two detectors with independent frequency weighting func-
tions. In the basic package, one is an RMS detector and the
other a Peak detector. Linear and A- and C-weighting can be
selected for both detectors. F (Fast), S (Slow) and I (Impulse)
time weighting must be selected in the basic version. Both
frequency and time weightings must be selected before a
measurement is performed.
