So I got metered today, but not on a TL??

not necessarily.
By accurate I mean reads closest to what the actual dB level is. The B&K is probably just as accurate as the TL, but the B&K can be affected more by temperature, air pressure, etc.

Plus different B&K's will read differently from each other, moreso than a termlab will.

The most I've seen two termlabs read differently from each other is ~.2 dB. That can't be said for any other meter, imo.

ahh, i see what you're getting at.

Thats what I meant by consistency. It's consistency within the meter itself and between different meters.

Not downing the B&K at all though. Definitely better than the audiocontrol (except for perhaps the 190) or any of those dash mounted ones.

I was told $16K by Mike himself. He wouldn't even let me hold it to take a picture.

but wouldn't something that is more accurate be more consistent by default?

tis a good point.

B&K = Very nice, before TL meter it was the meter of choice by about every major sanctioning body. $16k, Why? Maybe that's why the TL took over. LOL

Wow 16k for a db meter. I can see if NASA was using it for their testing, but just to have one of those to test DB's, not thanks I will just get a TL, lol!

Nice scores by the way.

Nice guess on your levels. I've heard those meters are pretty ridiculous and expensive.
