Review on ๐Ÿ”Š REED Instruments R8050 Sound Level Meter: Type 2, 30-100 & 60-130dB with +/-1.4 dB Accuracy by Shane Minter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Set up your stereo/media room carefully

We have a complex system. To optimize our system, we had to calibrate the front, center, rear, and height speakers. We used Spears & Munsil's HD benchmark and 2nd Edition Calibration CD to fine-tune all levels for optimal listening. Low frequency, not found in $20-$50 models. We really needed to crank the NHT subwoofer up to full blast, and that helped pinpoint exactly what was going on. Turns out we had to tilt our speaker up a few degrees. Who knew it could be a trick? It comes with a carry case and is ready to use. This is a finely tuned instrument. Don't disperse, treat it like a father-in-law still trying to win him over. Treat it like a soufflรฉ. honey it is name it. Give him pride of place. Want to prove your point about noise levels from your neighbors? That will help. Want to convince your wife that 2 kids is enough? Measure her scream. Draw it on the board next to the sound of jet engines, trucks, trains and nails. Welcome back.
