Since our inception as a wholly engineer-led concern in Silicon Valley, California in 1969, we have represented the gold standard for noise measurement and has contributed significantly to a change in the way noise, and in particular noise at work, is currently monitored, helping protect worker’s hearing and improving the quality of their environment. World Firsts by Pulsar Instruments In 1970 it was the first company to display sound exposure times on the scale of the sound level meter as well as the sound level – at the time a revolutionary idea. It pioneered the use of integrated circuitry in place of discrete transistors It designed the first instrument to be “styled” with coloured scales and fitted it into beautiful moulded cases – previously bent metal cases were commonplace. In 1974 it developed the world’s first true linear scaled meter. In 1977 it produced the first instrument designed for a world market meeting the new international standards of the time. In 1982 Pulsar seconded their Chief Engineer to the International Standards body (IEC) and he, with three other British engineers, were responsible for much of the IEC's noise measurement standard IEC 61672.
