Can anyone recommend a high quality high accuracy SPL meter that is reasonably priced?
Thanks

AudioTools by Studio Six Digital. It is an iOS app BUT it has many add on tools that can make as professional as you wish. I find that it is accurate enough for my purposes. If you wish for more accuracy, they also sell a microphone.

i just bought the most expensive one that they had in my local electronics store. was about $300 AUD i think.
with an spl meter i dont think it honestly matters that much. just make sure its not some real cheapo that cant do c-weighted slow measurements.

I've got a Silverline 633937, cost me 17 quid on Amazon and seems to do the trick.

What can you really do with this iOS app. ?
It has several modules, some of which will cost you.
- SPL Sound Level Meters
- Digital, Analog, Graph, Traffic Light and mode that combines all but graph.
There are other professional tools such as RTA and FFT and much more. Sorry but I am having trouble entering info.
The have a user forum and many demos. I suggest visiting their site at: http://studiosixdigital.com/audiotools/

I suggested you and someone else with that issue to check the mic volume in the OS. The default (at least in Windows) is rather low...
