SPL Meter

Is this even worth thinking about:

http://www.splmeter.com/

I just don't have the money for a TL, and I can't seem to find a shop in MN that has a meter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I don't plan on competing, but I thought it'd be fun to have to play with.

If anyone has experience with this thing, how does it compare (reading's-wise) to the new TL?

if u did a search, your not the only one that is wondering about the accuracy. no one really bought it, and tested it upon a TL meter. If you buy it, send it over, and let me do quick tests between that meter and my TL and ill make a review about the results.

lol, mine too. but hey, extra cash will help alot. rather than buying that crap stick

 

[mtlhead 10+ year member]

lol, hey it works well...sort of, its def not a TL, but its consistant

yeah, does anyone have accurate correction numbers for the boomstick?

for $20 i'd be interested in getting it, and seeing what it says. like if it gives me a 138, and it's ~5dB high, then i'd know i'm somewhere in the low 130's. i'm not looking for any type of accurate reading, but knowing what i'm hitting (to within a few dB's) would be nice.

i think i'll just keep searching for a real meter in my area.
