Durham Instruments, Canada’s leading provider of Brüel & Kjær measurement solutions, has introduced the 2245-W sound-level and vibration meter, a rugged device designed for occupational noise monitoring and hearing-loss prevention.
Key Features for Workplace Safety
The 2245-W is built for demanding environments, featuring a color LCD screen with an intuitive layout, a measurement-status light ring visible from any angle, and a weatherproof USB-C connector for charging and data transfer. Its built-in Li-Ion battery delivers over 14 hours of Wi-Fi-enabled operation, while 16GB of storage allows for extensive data logging.
For seamless workflow integration, Brüel & Kjær recommends pairing the device with the Work Noise Partner mobile app, which enables wireless control, task-based noise-exposure calculations, and multimedia annotations (images, voice notes, videos). The app organizes measurements into exposure groups and simplifies compliance with ISO 9612 standards.

Pre-configured software minimizes training requirements, making the system ideal for:
- Noise-exposure surveys (task/job-based assessments)
- Hearing-loss prevention programs
- Regulatory compliance (OSHA, CSA, etc.)
- Hearing-protection selection
Additional app licenses, such as Exhaust Noise Partner and Enviro Noise Partner, expand functionality for specialized scenarios.
Industry Applications
The 2245-W is suited for sectors including:
- Manufacturing & Automation
- Aerospace & Transportation
- Mining & Power Generation
- Healthcare & Food Processing
With its durability, wireless capabilities, and user-friendly design, the 2245-W positions itself as a critical tool for occupational health and safety professionals.
