spl meter

well im looking for a spl meter. I have seen the laptop based ones before are these cheaper then a sa-3050a?. do people know where to buy the laptop ones from and the mic.

You need to provide your own laptop, the system I believe you are reffering to is a term-lab system.   You can get them from termpro.com or dbdrag.com This is the meter used by all offical sanctioned compititions.   They range from $600-$900 based upon equipment.     Very very excelent system, I have had one for about 8 months now and would not give it up for anything. Sometimes you can find them on ebay for $300-$400 used but it you get a bad sensor you will have to pay the $250-$350 for the replacement sensor. The SA systems are a standalone system that has the display without a laptop, but you will need a mic for that.   A good mic is the 180 or 190 series mic, but you would spend for for the SA and the Mic then you would on a laptop based term-lab system. 2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR
