SPL meter range

[Kobus]

The only SPL meter I can source so far in South Africa has a range of 30hz - 10 khz. Is this OK.
Are the so called Radioshack models "full range" 20-20.

Thanks

The 'range' means the frequencies where they're most accurate.

The RS meter isn't accurate at lower frequencies either. There are correction tables for the RS meter, but they're not really very useful given the unit to unit variability.

For accurate measurements a much better choice is something like the Behringer ECM8000 mic with associated gear and software.

Another choice that I personally dig is the Phonic PAA-3. Also has RTA, RT60, and has software that can be loaded on your PC for gauging the entire room.
