Hey #foh #AudioEngineer crowd,

I'm looking for a reliable stand-alone sound meter when mixing live shows

I don't do shows all year long, but I'd like to have something that is reliable but also affordable. The shows are starting to be mid-sized and I'd like to add this to my arsenal đŸ¤—

Would like to order from Germany and not Amazon. Found this one, any good? https://de.trotec.com/produkte-services/messgeraete/emission/schallpegel-messgeraete/sl400-schallpegel-messgeraet/

@stvfrnzl Tagging @me because he probably has an opinion on this.

@stvfrnzl for sound measurement devices the most important thing is to get it regularly calibrated. Ideally once a year, some of these bastards can drift like crazy

Having said that, I only really worked with the DB meters from NTI Audio and Phonic but that SL400 looks really decent for the price.

You are welcome! Also don't forget to check local regulations whether or not you need to have a certification of calibration with you when you take it into the field.

I know in NL it isn't always required (indoor venues no, outdoor events yes), but it's always good to check.
