Simply block off the mic, to muffle what it recieves, so it stays below it's limit.. You wont know your true dB, but it'll help with tuning/adjusting for maximum SPL.

Kind of like the difference between hitting 150 dB inside the port of a sub, and 150 dB at the dashboard that's just 3 feet away, etc. Go yell as loud as you can right into someones ear... It'll hurt, and you'll probably get bitchslapped. 120 dB is a generally accepted number (at least to people who arent used to it) for the point where sound gets painful. Yelling directly into someones ear hurts more than just a little (again - I'm speaking 'in general'). So I have no doubts at all you yelled at 115 dB directly into a mic.
