Calculate the true total cost of ownership for acoustic measurement equipment. Bedrock Elite instruments include all measurement modules at one price. Most competing manufacturers sell a base instrument and then charge separately for each additional measurement capability. When you add up the module fees, the real cost of a competitor's instrument is often two to three times the advertised price — making Bedrock Elite's all-inclusive pricing highly competitive on total cost of ownership.
This calculator approach is designed to help you build a business case for Bedrock Elite instruments versus competitors. The key insight is that acoustic measurement professionals almost always need more than basic sound level metering. STIPA, octave analysis, data logging, and statistical analysis are standard requirements in most real-world measurement projects. Paying separately for each of these capabilities adds up quickly.
Many competitor Class 1 sound level meters are sold as a base instrument with measurement capabilities locked behind paid module upgrades. Common add-on costs include:
When a professional needs STIPA, octave analysis, data logging, and statistical analysis — all standard requirements for acoustic consultancy work — the cumulative cost of unlocking these capabilities on a modular-pricing competitor instrument can significantly exceed the original purchase price. The Bedrock Elite i10 includes all of these — plus Full STI in under 60 seconds, dual-channel FFT, RT60, and GPS — at a single all-inclusive price with no hidden costs. Request a quote to compare.
Every Bedrock Elite i10, i9, and i5 ships with every measurement module included. No unlock fees. No subscriptions. No firmware paywalls. The price you receive in your quote is the complete price — it includes everything you need to start measuring immediately.
Consider an acoustic consultant who needs Class 1 sound level metering, STIPA, octave band analysis, reverberation time, data logging, and statistical noise analysis. With a modular-pricing competitor, each capability may be priced separately: the base instrument, then STIPA unlock, then octave analysis unlock, then data logging activation — potentially totalling two to three times the original purchase price before the instrument can perform all the required measurements. With the Bedrock Elite i10, all of these capabilities — plus Full STI in under 60 seconds, dual-channel FFT, GPS, and more — are included at one transparent price.
