hey everyone,

i need an SPL meter but the cheapest one i can find is 90$ at radio shack.

anyone know a cheaper place to get one?

If you cant find one any cheaper than that, I can get one and mail it to you. they are $37.40 with tax (US Dollars). Shipping would probably be $5 or $6.

Unfortunately Radio Shack in Canada does not carry the analog sound level meter. Your options are; take advantage of the offer that Twopecker made to buy one for you in the US and ship it up, or pick one up off Ebay. Good luck

twopecker,

thanks for the offer. $38 US plus shipping is about $987659873987 CAD, though, so it would be easier for me to just pick one up here...

I'll check ebay

thanks everyone!
