Hi inmates,
I recently purchased a Radio Shack digital SPL meter. Excitedly I got it home skimmed the directions and tried it out. I sat at my normal listening position and played my music at a bit louder than my normal level and set the meter to 60 range C weighting and fast response.
I kept getting a "lo" displayed on the meter indicating that I had chosen too high a range. Well at 60 there is no lower range and honestly I think I was listening at a fairly high volume. My questions is do I have a defective meter or am I using the meter incorrectly? Thanks for any tips or advice!

Typically most CDs and DVDs used for adjusting levels would recommend a level at about 75db for calibration... So, you set the meter at 70db and slow responce C weighted and crank the volume until it reads 75db... Ofcourse, your signal is that of a test signal (white, Pink , or Warble) coming from the receiver or a CD/DVD...I use the same SPL meter without a problem!

60 dB is about the background of many living rooms... add music and it's going to be 85-90 easily. I would start at 100 or 90 tange. Maybe the battery is "lo"...MBK
