The ART SPL-8810 decibel meter gives consistent results andis very easy to use. The backlight is quite bright. I likethe fact it has 2 broad ranges (lo / hi) and not 4 or 6narrow ranges like some other meters out there.The unit feels very solid and high quality, howeverthe windshield comes off too easily. Not a problem really.My only real gripe is the auto-off feature. The unit turnsitself off about 15 minutes after you turn it on,regardless if you operate the buttons in the mean time.For the price ($70) I can't complain. Other meters at thisprice do not have any kind of standards conformance.This unit shows IEC651 / ANSI S1.4, and Type 2(type 1 is the most accurate, but most expensive too,type 3 is the cheapest and worst accuracy).Note: I opened it up and saw DT-805 printed in the circuitboard (actually DT-805A-4).It looks like this is a rebranded DT-805 meter by CEMcompany. The Nady DSM-1 and Extech 407732 look to be thesame as well.These are great and pricey meters, and the ART brand hasthe cheapest price of them all for the same thing.Go for it!

Works better than expected, very easy to read with 2 settings (dBA & dBC) and is tripod mountable for ease of use. I purchased it to measure and document the sound coming from the condo above me. My readings provided the tangible evidence needed to present to an attorney to pursue legal action against my neighbor. This device is of high quality and less expensive than comparable models.

When I purchased this sound meter, my objective was to balance the speakers of my 7.1 theater sound system. The problem is that the cheaper sound meters don't have a flat response curve across the frequency spectrum and thus, I was looking for an affordable (key word) sound pressure meter that would get me close to a balanced system such that the system would sound good.I tried the $49 Radio Shack meter but found that it lacked sufficient bass sensitivity that the subwoofer level was way off.A friend offered his $1 sound level application for his i-phone but it was even worse than the Radio Shack meter.I then tried the American Recorder meter and was able to reach a sufficiently good balance that the system sounded good - at an affordable price. I won't tell you that this meter has a flat response curve, especially in the bass region but it is sufficiently sensitive to the subwoofer frequencies that I was able to get close to balanced. Probably the $350 meter may have been better but, I have a simple home theater to keep in balance along with some other sound applications that I didn't need perfect response (and I didn't want to pay $350 (remember the key word), if I didn't have to). This meter was certainly good enough to get all the 6 surround speakers balanced - especially the center channel against the surrounds and get the sub-woofer into the ballpark wherein with a few manual adjustments on the sub gave me a great sounding system.
