[QUOTE="sku, post: 2546739, member: 555498"] Well for comps yes accurate and precise are a must but for testing your system out...consistency is the key... It really doesn't matter if it reads 5 db higher then the TL *as long as it is CONSISTENT*. For example: Test 1) You burp 140 @42 (repeat 3 times and see if its the same score) Test 2) You adjust the volume up 1 or 2 clicks (burp 3 times again to see if the same/similar score registers) ...and so on... Once you have established whether or not the mic is consistent then you can assume it is reliable or not... Since JNTAR has a TL we also have the added bonus of having a reference mic to compare this mic to... Back to Test1...if this mic puts up a conistent 140 @42 hz and the TL does a consistent 135 @ 42 hz...then you can safely assume that this mic is 5 db higher then the TL at the 140db and 42hz mark... I assume this is the type of testing JN is planning...anything remotely close to this is still *VERY* much appreciated!!! Especially since he's doing this on his own merits!! Anyways if it works out good...I have an EPIC-150 I can compare it to.... [/QUOTE]
