The preferred Radio Shack sound pressure meter is with one with the analog (rather than the digital readout) meter set on: "C" weighted, "average." Keep the meter as far from your body as possible and yet still be able to read out the meter Establishing your general volume at anywhere from 70 dB to 85 dB depending upon the room and your general listening preferences. If settling on a listening position, you can mount the meter on a tripod set up for the height at which listening will occur. If using a test CD, choose one with a corrected Low Frequency range to compensate for the anomolies known to exist with the Radio Shack's reading errors (IIRC, you can order one from Rives). Otherwise, corrected readings for the RS meter can be found on the web.
Have fun.
