 The digital one is actually more accurate than the analog, however the analog oddly enough is more reproducible. The analog is also easier to use when trying to find pressure zones in the room. It's for this reason we chose the analog meter.

The digital meter follows a standard C-weighting curve pretty accurately (keep in mind this is not flat--so the flat tones still won't work for this). The analog has a bit more deviation from flat than a standard C-weight, plus a few other anamolies.

My recommendation would be to buy the analog meter, but if you use the digital it's probably not really that far off from our corrected tones. More information for the Test CD is in the provided link.

 I`m going to get the analog meter then,and the test cd.I really like how each track is one tone,it`ll make it a lot easier to work with and more acurate than some of the other well known test cds that I have.Thanks.
