I have a blue tooth SPL lab as well. It's been within a db of the term lab. Give or take on certain frequencies. Still very helpful for you to find your peak, and max scores. It does have a averaging measurement as well, but it seems different from term lab. I was able to do consistent 139.9 scores on my SPL lab, went to go on the term lab and did a 138.9. It could have been my nerves getting to me though lol.

Huge pro to me with the bluetooth is that I can just use my phone with it. No fucking with cords or a laptop. Makes metering on the spot a quick job.

By the time you are walking over to the persons car you are metering, you can have it all synched up and recording before you even place it on the glass.

I paid 325 used for mine iirc.

I preorderd this beauty and they should be shipping out next month. From what a judge told me they wont be doing updates for the older ones, but will let you send in the old one in for credit towards the new one.

Yepp, TNESPL :) Their last meet was last week I do believe and I haven't got my other 15 and amps yet anyways. More less gearing up for next season, have the box almost built, GT Mat is like half done (I work a lot so no time :/). Want to see what the one 15 is doing now. Feels like around 140 but now that I see what other people are needing to get to 140, i'm not so sure. Hope to at least place top 3 there next year, would be cool to see what kind of numbers I am doing before I go, as well as compare scores from the one 15 and the two.

So you're doing 139.9 with them two AQ 12's on 2200+ RMS? Man, i'm starting to doubt I am getting the 140 now, even with the advantage of having the SUV :/ You have more cone area and roughly double the RMS, so I don't see me hitting 140 :(

So to sum it up, termlab for accuracy and better features, SPL labs for a cheap alternative? $339 used is a little more than I wanted to spend, but I think my team mates may go in 1/3 with me, if i'm lucky lol. I wish there was a way to buy a cheaper mic, hook it to a PC and at least be within a Db..... If it were only that easy...
