SPL meter source in Australia?

David Gatti · 28th January 2005, 12:10 AM

Tandy don't seem to stock them anymore. Anybody know of a supplier or want to sell theirs?

Hi David,

http://www.altronics.com.au/index.as...=item&id=Q1264

and

RSaustralia also have some, but I think they start at about $1000!!!!

Don't have one, don't know what they are like, specs of +- 1.5db seems a bit crude for loudspeaker testing, but as I have never used one, I don't really know.

Tony.

How would you use this to get an overall response graph?

Why not use something like Behringer ECM8000 mic, build a preamp, and run it into your soundcard and use some of the free software RTA apps available out there?

Dick Smith Electronics sell them as they have taken over Tandy

Here is the RS meter

Thanks guys but I'm looking for something cheap and cheerful under about $50, and analog. It's mainly just for simple HT calibrating and playing around with.

also have one, around the $120 mark.

I have one of the earlier versions you could borrow for a while.

Hmmmm

So $49.94 for the Cat No. Q1461 RS Analogue Sound Level Meter is not what you are after.

RS Analogue Meter

This was the one I was referring too.

If you can't find anything send me a PM as I have 3x meters here and will sell you one.

Hmmm nah better to own at least 1 SPL meter. They are a cheap investment for any audio enthusiast.
