Daniel Bonham Bronze Member Username: Bonhamd Northern, Michigan USA Post Number: 58 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 17:30 GMT so the AC is not very accurate? say I hit 142 on AC would TL be more like 137 or what? Is it worth my time to get this ball park reading?

Daniel Bonham Bronze Member Username: Bonhamd Northern, Michigan USA Post Number: 61 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 20:11 GMT I want to get on the TL in the future. I am just throwing what I have in as a temporary setup. Still trying to decide on what to get in the future.

Which makes it's reading basically useless. The TL is always accurate as it doesn't need to be calibrated.
Eddy DieZe Silver Member Username: Boomtank Rochester, NY USA Post Number: 446 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Saturday, December 22, 2007 - 00:06 GMT the TL isalso cheaper then the audiocontrol. I asked for a quote on an AC and they said $1300 for the Meter and a 130db mic and $550 extra fo a 190db mic Is here a cheaper place to get one cause i don't see how they are $1200 more then the TL( $649 for a TL and 180db mic ) and be so inaccurate.
