I'm using it's CAL file- Is the meter useful at all for a full spectrum?
You'll note the cal file stops at 200Hz.

You can use the meter for full range in relative terms, but not absolute.

So if you took a reading at a frequency (for example) of 5KHz and then made a positional change in a speaker to see if it was relatively louder or quieter at 5KHz, then that's fine. You could not say that the SPL reading at 5KHz was correct. The RS meters have been found to be quite different between units.

Most people here use the ECM8000 and XENYX combination mic/preamp. See this thread with regard to where they're available and how to connect up. Fairly inexpensive and effective, and we have a full range cal file available on the download page.
