I hope that's not the case. I thought I needed the SPL meter to tell me where the problems lay, and then folks who are more experienced could tell me what I need to do from the results ? Otherwise, I've wasted over $AU50 on the meter and cabling/plugs, which could have been spent better elsewhere (I'm a pensioner... can't afford to waste money like that!)...
Well if you hop over to the Acoustics section I think you'll find that in a room like yours (small-ish) the first thing to do is to put bass trapping in. The more the better. Hit all the corners with bass traps then hit the first reflection points. Then measure with SPL to see what's happening with the mids and highs.

Good luck
Michael
