decibel reader from wallmart???

Hi everyone,

I was just at Wall Mart buying supplies for a project I am going to start this weekend and I seen a decibel Meeter on clearance for $19.00, and wanted to know how accurate these are? I tried to go to wall mart's site to link the product but I couldn't find it, it looked like a walkie talkie if this helps. I know its at wall mart so its no term lab, but has anyone owned a hand held Decibel meeter? How accurate are they? Would it at lease be accurate enough use for benchmarking?

Thanks in advanced!

not accurate at all...don't waste your money.

The only thing worth buying is a Term-Lab @ 600 bucks + laptop.

My cousin purchased one a long time back and I think he said it went up to like 130 or something with 2 15's and like 600RMS or so

if u actually want a decent measure of ur dB's so u can play with ur setup and see any kind of gain. get an audiocontrol epic 160. probly around 100-150 bucks. even though they arent termlabs and arent in any sactioned comp circuits anymore (not to my knowledge), itll still give u to the decible reading, ur voltage, and a few other small tuning capabilities. good investment if u ak me....

audiocontrol epic 160 is pretty accurate usually witin .5 dbs when i compete it matches up

voltage meter is a plus
