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.

@rwjr44,
What can you really do with this iOS app. ?

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

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/

There is the well known Software "REW" from Image Shack in US (free when registered).
It works perfectly with the USB-microphone UMIK-1 ( http://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/umik-1 ), about 75$ or similar in €.
Calibration file can be downloaded by serial number.
Sound is send via PC or Laptop to the Devialet, no need for a soundcard or anything. Available for Mac and PC.

When I use REW with a UMIK microphone and always get a microphone volume level error messages. Is the calibration file you mention used to correct specifically for the UMIK? I can get nice graphs etc. from REW but have no confidence in the results due to the errors. Maybe this is the answer?

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...
