Galaxy 130 and/or PCM-6100 mic

[distoga]

I'm looking to purchase the equipment I'll need to test my theater since my room is inside a concrete bunker (half joking, all 6 surfaces are 8"-2' concrete). The room can't be framed for a few reasons so I'll be working on getting the right kind and amount of AT.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a comment on the Galexy 130 rather than 140 SPL? It's half the cost so I thought it would be worth asking about.

The second thing is I have a yamaha 12/4 mixer I use for recording and a few mics, one of which is the e-bay famous PCM-6100 that has a fairly flat response:

It also sounds like you can do testing either just with the SPL or just with a mixer and condenser mic? I guess the pro to doing both is you can verify by doing it with both?

Not usable. It has no AC output port - only the meter.

You need calibration files for any meter or mic. We have a cal file for the Galaxy CM-140 on our download page. It can do the entire job.
