About as accurate as you sticking your thumb up your butt to determine the weather.

it shuts off at 135 db-how accurate could it be???

How high it measures and how accurate it is are not related in any way. The splmeter.com meters are pretty consistant against the new TL (albeit off by a DB or 3) and the low end one only goes up to 140.

how do we know that a TL is the most accurate? what made the TL the "accurate" meter?

A TL is really really freaking expensive and hard to across in a lot of places - the splmeter.com meters are neither really really freaking expensive or scarce. =)

Maybe Loyd's next test could be a consistancy check against against the two. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

it's not accuracy for say i'd guess, but more of the fact that it's harder to score high on it, so that is what they want to see. or simply for "apples to apples" comparision

I mean how could you test the accuracy honestly.

Really freaking expensive is the $1600 Audiocontrol wants for its RTA.

$500 used is doable //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Scarce? Not 'round these parts they're not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

exactly so that is what gets me when people say the TL is the most accurate. It's really just the accecpted meter of the industry

Could calibrate it with really fancy test gear measuring air pressure in kilopascals, and convert that number to decibels...probably set at an average value depending on elevation.

I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud.

yeah, "accurate" just means hardest to score on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif in this case
