Rion, the world’s second largest manufacturers of Sound and Vibration instrumentation, were established in 1944 to develop commercial products based on the research carried out at the Kobayasi Institute of Physical Research in Tokyo, Japan. Rion still maintain strong links with the Kobayasi Institute which is now a leading centre for acoustic and vibration research. Rion instruments, including the microphones, are designed and manufactured to the highest standards by Rion in Japan and uniquely combine cutting edge technology with reliability and ease of use. In addition to sound and vibration instrumentation, Rion also design and manufacture precision medical instruments and hearing aids.

ANV Measurement Systems have distributed Rion Sound and Vibration instrumentation in the UK since 2000. Rion instruments are now widely used in the UK by consultants, environmental health officers, housing associations, construction contractors, demolition contractors and general industry. ANV Measurement Systems have become Europe’s largest Rion Distributor.

Rion & ANV Measurement Systems In Front on Crossrail

Despite recent high profile claims from another supplier of noise monitoring systems, ANV Measurement Systems RCDS (Remote Control and Download Software) based on the Rion NL-32 sound level meter, remains the most widely-used remote environmental noise monitoring system on Crossrail demolition and constructions sites. The Crossrail project has no project-wide requirements regarding which noise monitors should be used and there is no requirement for contractors or consultants responsible for monitoring to use any particular brand of monitor or to sign up for a specific manufacturer’s subscription service.

Many contractors and consultants have opted for the ANV Measurement Systems and Rion solution because of its price, simplicity, proven reliability and the excellent support provided by ANV Measurement Systems team. The RCDS system has user-configurable alarms and there are no on-going costs other than the bill for an ordinary SIM card and calibration.

So whilst some manufacturers might be recently claiming to be on track for London’s Crossrail project, ANV Measurement Systems and Rion have been on track for some time and remain well ahead.
