I have my BFD on the way and I dug up my trusty old RS 33-2055 digital SPL meter. I've heard that these, even with the .cal files are unreliable. Is anyone using these effectively?

I've also got a Phonic PAA3, which I hear is a bit more accurate, but only has XLR in/out. Would it be possible to somehow use this meter with REW?

Thanks.

Lot's of people. For subwoofer frequencies, we have a calibration file on the download page. No reason to believe that it isn't within a few dB. I can't imagine needing more for home use, since moving the meaurement device a few feet will create a far larger discrepency.

Don't see how. I believe the XLR output is only to transmit test tones from the PAA3?
