I have a question about measuring levels with a little radio shack spl meter. If with nothing playing i measure around 70 dB or so, then let my music play and its around 85 or 90 dB then how loud am i really referencing my music? I measure in my car while driving and in the control room all the time and dont really know nor understand exactly how loud i am listening.

There is no rating of the website or PDF. Does anyone know what she will handle?

Folks,

there were a number of very interesting posts that talked about the use of the analog Radio Shack SPL/dB meter to get an idea what kind of frequency response one is getting in their control room. The gadget is rather inexpensive so I went for it and gave it a go.

Could someone tell me which of the two would work best for someone who would basically be using it to check monitoring levels?
