Klein Instruments K-80 Colorimeter: Unmatched Sensitivity and Accuracy
Note: This is a special order item. Please contact us for availability and lead times.
The Klein K-80 Colorimeter represents a significant leap forward in display measurement technology, engineered for professionals who demand absolute precision and reliability. With enhanced optics that deliver an astonishing 16 times the sensitivity of the previous K-8 model, the K-80 captures nuanced color and luminance data with incredible speed and accuracy. Its versatile design and 20mm aperture make it ideal for any display, from massive video walls to compact, hard-to-measure screens, ensuring consistent, reference-quality results in any environment.
Built on the Klein tradition of robust engineering, the K-80 features a rugged housing crafted from machined aluminum and high-impact plastic. This durable construction, combined with solid-state auto-ranging, is designed to withstand the rigors of 24/7 use in demanding manufacturing and quality control workflows. The compact, lightweight design and universal tripod mount make it effortlessly portable and easy to integrate into any setup, whether in a lab, on a production line, or in the field.
At the heart of the K-80's performance are its exceptionally accurate, specially layered absorption filters. These ensure that the f1’ of Y, X, and Z are all measured with maximum precision for true-to-life color analysis. Each device is rigorously tested for thermal stability, guaranteeing dependable performance across a wide operating temperature range.
Beyond color accuracy, the K-80 is a fully-featured FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) flicker meter. It measures and analyzes flicker from 1-150Hz in real-time, providing critical data using JEITA, VESA, and Contrast methodologies through the Klein Chromasurf software. This makes it an indispensable tool for identifying flicker from monitor refresh rates or current variations in LEDs. For display manufacturers, post-production houses, and AV calibrators, the Klein K-80 is the definitive tool for comprehensive display analysis.
