Is there a resonably priced device of recommendation for spl/freq?

I have recently had a degradation of my normal device(ears) and would like to see some results, as opposed to guesswork. Thanks!

Peace

How about a signal generator and a SPL meter? A RS meter is not of the highest quality and requires some major tweaks and adjustments to even come close to being useful. Then you have the problem of the room imposing its signature on the sound of the speakers. So whatever you use must be calibrated to the room and the speakers before you begin. Fortunately, for what you want, almost any signal generator will suffice. You can purchase a CD with test tones for a few dollars. How much are you willing to spend for this adventure? If you are checking your hearing, it is best done with headphones.

Thanks, Jan, I have a tone generator in my amp, and another in the dvd player.

I am looking at visual, as well as audible spl/frequency signals,as my old ones arent working so well.

A visual meter would be very helpful.

I had a digital display, real time type of devise in mind. Perhaps an industrial piece of equipment, not bashful for price, to start.

Why not just put "spl meter" into a search engine and see what comes up?

Nuck: Check out PartsExpress.com. they have several devices that I think may satisfy your needs. A word of warning however they are not cheap. Some range in the hundreds of $ US.

Thanks Eric, I am going to go there now.
In fact, hundreds of USD is cheap, compared to componants looking to cure an elusive, or uncurable problem, but should be a reference.
