Up-Dated 21-07-25 Best in 3-in-1 meters class when it comes to overall sensitivity and accuracy. For most users, the Mito Meter provides all the sensitivity and accuracy needed to detect and avoid harmful wireless radiation and electromagnetic hot spots. Note: Very sensitive individuals, like those house bound, require very sensitive meters — such as the Safe & Sound Pro II and the EM3 combination. ($1500AUD+)

RF Readings In the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (2.4 GHz) range, our custom-calibrated Mito Meters deliver readings similar to the Safe & Sound Pro II — @1 µW/m². (See video Here) Electric Field Readings

Typical 3-in-1 meters deliver only poor to average e-Field performance. The new Mito Meter 2.0 sets a new benchmark, offering unmatched sensitivity—outperforming leading models such as the TF2, Cornet, EMF-390, and CEMPROTEC.

Magnetic Field Readings Mito Meter 1.0 to 2.0 versions are specially calibrated for detecting magnetic fields from power lines and electrical infrastructure. (@50/60Hz). Thanks to this custom calibration, they offer significantly higher sensitivity and accuracy at 50/60Hz compared to all other popular models, including the TF2, Cornet, EMF-390, and CEMPROTEC.

5G mmWave connectivity is a microwave dependent technology and not a standalone mobile solution like microwaves are. Our meters when in RF MODE detects the 5G mmWave lower multi-tier LTE/5G microwave bands. Note: Many parts of major Australian cities in 2025 still don't have 5G signal and rural areas have no 5G.

Our detectors use single-axis sensors because they are significantly more sensitive than three-axis sensors. This enhanced sensitivity allows the meters to measure magnetic fields as low as 1nT (0.01mG), far outperforming ALL other three-axis 3-in-1 meters on the market.

The custom calibrated versions are on par with high-quality professional devices like Gigahertz Solutions meters. This makes our meters the best 3-in-1 tool for testing background dynamic magnetic fields from the powergrid before buying a property.

No broadband EMF meter can detect ALL Dirty Electricity (DE) frequencies. The Mito Meter measures frequencies up to 50 kHz and is weighted to detect DE within the 1 kHz – 50 kHz range. However, it should not be used as a dedicated DE tester. In its electric field testing mode (LFE Mode), you may notice elevated readings when measuring connected devices such as a computer keyboard—typically showing an increase of up to 5 V/m.

As an example, a keyboard & mouse typically measure around 10 V/m when connected to a PC that’s plugged into a power outlet. (Body potential reading.) If DE is present within the typical 1–100 kHz range, readings can increase to around 15 V/m. When the setup is not grounded, values can rise even higher—up to 30 > V/m. To measure DE—also referred to as high-frequency harmonics & transients on 50/60Hz electrical wiring—you will need a specialized meter. We recommend and use both the STETZERiZER® Microsurge Meter by Graham-Stetzer and the Alpha Lab In-Line EMI Meter. Both meters used together cover different frequencies. For analyzing the frequencies and mitigating area of concern, we recommend and use Aaronia Spectrum analyzers. In most cases, the Alpha Labs & STETZERiZER® Microsurge will be sufficient. Alternatively, you can use a standard AM/FM radio set to AM mode and tuned to the lower end of the spectrum. If DE is present, you will hear noise or interference on the radio. Step inside and outside your home or office with the radio; with clean 50/60Hz power, there should be little to no noise on the radio.

Note the above method doesn't capture high frequency DE in the higher kHz range like the Alpha Lab In-Line EMI Meter. However, the Alpha Lab In-Line EMI Meter can in some locations detect local radio stations which masks any DE present and why we also recommend the STETZERiZER, that only covers 105 to 150kHz. (The main area of concern.) Power filters can be purchased on-line, however we recommend custom solutions be installed by a professional. Please contact us if you would like an assessment or quote.

Most 3-in-1 EMF meters today display all three modes simultaneously

— RF (Radio Frequency), Gauss (Magnetic Field), and Electric Field— However, this comes at the expense of sensitivity, (measuring low radiation levels.) which is why the Mito Meter's only allow one mode to be selected at a time:

• RF: Radio Frequency Power

• LFM: Low-Frequency Magnetic Fields

• LFE: Low-Frequency Electric Fields
  

Running all three modes simultaneously creates additional load and/or noise on the circuit board, significantly reducing the RF sensitivity. This means some 3-in-1 meters can’t reliably detect RF levels below 100 µW/m², making environmental RF measurements impossible.

Professional-grade Building Biology meters address this issue by specializing in either high-frequency (RF) or low-frequency (magnetic and electric) measurements. Ideally, an RF meter should measure down to around 1 µW/m² (0.001 mW/m²) for effective screening.
