Newbie question for SPL advice & 1124ps


Hi all,

I am new to this forum for room sub tweaking. After reading some of the postings here I am ready to buy the H/W required for my stereo sub eq/ room treatment project. I would appreciate if some of you who has experience and knowledge can help me out:

1. I am thinking of getting a used SPL. Should I look for the analog or digital one from RS ? Any particular model should I look for ? RS33-2055, RS-33-4055 or RS33-205 ? Any issues or pluses that I should chose any particular model over the other one ? Can they have triport thread for support ? What about other RS OEM SPL ? EBay has lots of diff. brand which looks quite similar to the RS, any suggestion on those ? Can they be compensated with the C-weighted values provided by this site ?

2. I assume I need a USB external sound card for my laptop to run and record the measurement. Any particular one should I use ? SB live 24bit ? Is there any SB model that can serve the purpose for this in a smaller budget plus I can use it with my midi keyboard controller in a ocassion base ?

3. I bought a used BDF1124PS used from ebay and now I notice there is a new firmware 1.4 availabe. What are the fixes for this new firmware ? how critical it is to the purpose of sub eq for my Stereo subwoofers ? Is it critical to update it ?

Many thanks in advance..
