20.All N.I.S.T. calibrated pressure sensors/microphones will read the same db levels as ours including; PCB, B+K, ENDEVCO, OMEGA, and the new TERM PRO/LAB db car stereo meter,

Just an example of 11 happy worldwide customers examples say "real world" decibel levels;

Customer 1 reports:"162.7term 161.9our"

Customer 2:"147.1 term 146.7 our"

3:"153.4 our 153.3 term"

4."156.6 our 156.6 term"

5."148.4 our 148.4 term"

6."138.4 our 138.3 term"

7."Great Product!! Only 0.2db off of my term lab"

8."Mic cal is real close to a termlab, works fine"

9."Shipping was quick, unit works great. Tested against a known SPL source A+"

10."Thanks a ton for a price effective alternative for a 1500.00 meter! Quick ship"

11."Completely awesome meter, finest on the planet, thanks a bunch!"

Just thought I would bump this up. I forgot I had this thing and never used it till tonight. Had I remembered I had it I would have taken it to the local comp I was in a few weeks ago to put it side by side against a TL. I'm going to see if there are going to be anymore shows in the area and test it. When I was metered on the TL I hit 144.3 on the dash. Tonight I hit 145.9 on the dash according to this meter. I have made a couple small changes in the mean time and I used different tones/sweep than before. I originally bought it just to get a rough ballpark and could be useful for playing around with. I used my crafstman dmm but I will test it against a fluke as well.

Check out Kriss SPL meters as well, not sure EXACTLY how far off the TL it reads (right around 3 dbs), but is consistent with readings every time.

Someone needs to step up and do a side by side comparison of the two. Metering should be done at the exact same time, during the same burp, etc.

If you would read the thread, I was going to do it, but probably wouldnt be up to your standards, probably be too pragmatic anyway. You should probably just run 5 differential equations to figure out if it works or not.

Anyways Jntar never sent it to me, and i have since sold my TL.

I followed the 20 page thread since it was made, and like the regular caraudio.com fashion, it was all talk and no action.

It's not that hard to do the test. You put both mics in the car next to each other, and do a run. Repeat 10, 20 times, change frequencies a few times and repeat. Do some averaging.

Done. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I don't know why you're taking it so personally since I never quoted anybody.

90% of the people here say they will do something and never do. The other 10% carry the rest with great results. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
