Pyle PSPL01 Mini Digital Sound Level Meter

I just got this today but wanted to get the word out that this unit(at least the one I received) is C-weighted, not A-weighted like the description currently states. The "weighting" has to do with the frequency response and the different versions are intended to match the human response to noises under different circumstances. A-weighting is more common and typically used for noise ordinances and OSHA requirements. There's a general consensus that A-weighting is not appropriate for anything over quiet room levels, but from what I've read, A-weighting is used as the standard for many situations (for better or worse).

That said, C-weighting is probably better for my purposes anyway. Often you have to get a more expensive unit that has both A and C to get C-weighted response.

As for the unit, for the price, it feels solid and looks like it could handle a drop or two. It has an automatic back-light, min-max functionality and a 1/4-20 threaded boss for mounting to a tripod etc. The unit is basic, but I'm happy with it. I don't have reference equipment to test the accuracy, but the values seem to match what I would expect for different environments.

I have been taking speech theraphy. My therapist uses one of these to measure my voice output volume. She suggested I get one to practice with so I'll know when I'm getting the proper output volume. The Pyle was reasonably priced and works well.

I purchased this sound level to measure and setup my new 5.1 home theater setup. My receiver has an auto calibration utility, but I wanted to validate the sound levels and as to tweak the settings as needed.

The measurements were in line with the receiver's calibration utility, and allowed me to further adjust the settings as I wanted.

It performed as expected and for the price it is well worth it.

The item I received is not "A" weighted. The packaging even says "C" on the back. If you are looking to pick up noise from your noisy neighbors, this product is not for you. "C" weighted is more ideal for musicians or music clubs checking their noise levels. It randomly skips around numbers below 60 unless it's really really loud. The only plus is that the screen lights up so you can see the numbers if you are in a dark place. I am returning this item. Fix your information Amazon.
