Hi all,

It's whatever you get used to. I grew up with a preference for analog meters, so I used to recommend the analog version of the RS meter. But we have an expensive digital SPL meter in the listening room at the Axiom plant and I found I got used to it pretty quickly.

If you measure SPLs in concert halls during live performances or in movie theaters, as I do on occasion, I think the analog version is easier to read in dim lighting. I wish it had a backlight button.
