SPL METER? ATI OR RADIO SHACK


I am looking for an SPL meter for speaker placement and room acoustic information. I know radio shack makes one, and I have seen an ATI SLM 100 advertised on the net and
Music Direct also sells it. Does anybody have a personal experience with either. I am looking to spend within the $100.00 range, but of course looking for one that is reasonably accurate. All opinions would be welcome

Eldartford is right. I have had the RS meter and the Rives cd designed for use with it for years. A real time analyzer is the only real solution, but you need at least a 1/3 octave unit. Also be prepared to see how disastrous you response is.
Eldartford, as always I seek to avoid equalization other than by placement or absorbtion. I just don't like all those parts.

You should hear the benefits of the Halcyonics on both vinyl and digital. Too expensive, however.
