VERY EXPENSIVE!? man, these shops, they're always expensive, even for reading the loudness of your system... wouldn't it be cheaper to enroll in something like the future shop sound battle (or whatever) and get the reading done for free, with the chance to win a prize??

i was saying that accurate meters are expensive and that alot of shops wouldnt have one. so you should enter a DB Drag or USAC event.

Go to www.canadiancaraudio.com and check the Eastern section for upcoming competitions in your area. They will be most likely using the new Termlab mic as opposed to it's Audiocontrol predecessor, so you will get a more accurate reading this way.

Good luck.
