Rode NT1 okay for measuring?


I have a very small home recording studio which I acoustically treated last year with DIY rockwool panels according to Ethan Winer's and others' guidelines. The room is 10'x6.5'x8'.

I recently bought a Radio Shack 33-4050 SPL meter in order to measure the rooms acoustics / frequency response using REW. I have since discovered through reading some posts on this forum that this meter is only good for measuring the low frequencies. I presume that is not enough for my room and that I need something that will cope with the whole spectrum(?). As you can tell, I haven't used REW before.

I have a Rode NT 1 which is a good quality cardioid capacitor mic with a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz. Will this suffice for taking the measurements or do I need to go out and buy a special measuring mic?

Thank you.
