Anyone know where I can get a good *affordable* (under $400) Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL METER) that is reliable /accurate for reading supressed and unsuppressed decibels.

Intended purpose: Making a quiet load.
Thanks
 
Re: Reliable SPL meter

None of the affordable ones go high enough, Most top out around 130db which is not high enough unless you move it away.

With a fully suppressed and sub sonic load you might manage but then again your not loading for sound you're loading to reach a speed and stability point.

Best you can do is put it down range at the target.

A suppressed full power load is beyond the meter, so unsuppressed you'll run into a problem.
