Isn't it time for you to offer up an I stand corrected regarding tone
controls, EQ and Radio Shack SPL meters?

**No. Rat Shack SPL meters are EXACTLY as I say they a They're fine
for
rough and ready measurements. They are not by any measure useful as
accurate
devices.

Among the other flaws, this meter does not have an internally regulated
power supply. Consequently, the level readings vary by how long the meter
is
turned on. The 9V battery is not stable under the load required by the
meter.

Some people are bright enoug to figure out how to hook it up with an AC
converter.

Mikey, you love junk!
In order to work, the supply would have to be very tightly reguated. And
thermal drift inside the appliance cannot be ruled out. The low cost option
is the Behringer measurement mike, at about $50. I have two of them. Better
mics start around $150.
