Need advice

iPhone apps are a joke for actual spl. They do sell a mic that can be plugged in to your phone. Don't know how good it is. Radio shack one will be better. I use an omnimic setup. Problem with the phone is you can't check low frequency spl accurately at all. Radio shack one you can.

Need some recommendations for an spl meter

The inexpensive ones are O.K. for measuring overall SPL, but no good for measuring frequency response.  Even though some compensation tables/charts are available for the RS meter,  the various ones out there contradict each other. 

 

To measure frequency response, it's best to go to the REW (room eq wizard) site and download it.   It's FREE, a real public service.  You will need a calibrated measurement microphone (~~ $100).  You enter the calibration into REW, then run REW.

Jay L, hadn't seen you around in a while. Rumor was that you went to work for Apple or the NSA or something.

 

Galaxy Audio is about the best you can do without breaking the bank. The analog Rat Shack is okay if you can still find it.

 

Eh? Was that rumor just now started? lol
