I recently bought a Behringer ECM8000; $49 at Muscian's Friend. To use it in this application requires a source of Phantom Power, whch I satisfied with a Behringer UB802 Mixer (another $49!).

I forgot to mention that RoomEQ Wizard also works with the Radio Shack SPL meter. The application has compensation fo the RS meter's "C" weighting, which represents the bulk of that device's innaccuracies.

That said, I like knowing that the Behringer has greater accuracy for both low and high frequency measurements, although I only do EQ work in the bass region.

Do you know if the corrections for the RS meter are the same for the analog and digital meter? TIA.

I am not certain.

IIRC, I read a post at AVS that said that the line level output of the Digital RS meter did not apply the weighting, thus you would not want to use RommEQ Wizard with the C Weighting compensation. But I can not confirm that. It is accepted that the Analog meter's line out DOES apply the C Weighting.

The post where I read this may have been part of a huge thread relating to ETF software, but I would not guaranty that.

The uncertainty surrounding the various RS Meter correction factors is the main reason I opted for the Behringer mic and mixer/pre-amp. It is said to be dead nuts flat from 20 hertz well into the midrange, which is precisely what I want to measure.
