Audio control epic 160 db meter accurate?


Recommended Posts

Its pretty accurate. I placed my unit on the dash, center of the windshield and did a 144 on it. Have taken the car to 2 shows, meter in the center of the windshield , 1" off the dash and have done a 144.3 and a 145.1 with a TermLab.

If your metering from 2 different locations in the vehicle your going to get different readings. It isnt a TL, thats for sure but it was close when I metered from the same area in the car. Thats all I can tell you.

for example if you find out standing on ur head while u burp it and gain 2DB. You should gain the same or close on the TL.

the epic 160 or any ac meter is a great tool for tuning... but not for giving an accurate measurment of pressure level... although imo the Audiocontrol spl190 is the closest to the Term Lab then any other meter ive seen...

the audio control SPL190 was used in SPL comps before termlab, it had to be calibrated, thats why it went out, ive used all 3, the epic 160 uses a mic, tap it and it spikes

the SPL190 is the termlab unit just needs to be calibrated

the termlab is a SPl190 just doesnt need to be calibrated
