Who has been meter on a B&K and is it close to TL numbers?

If you go to a larger (Triple Pts, Regionals, or Finals) USACi Event, they sometimes have a B&K mic.

As far as #'s compared to the TL, I have seen it higher and lower than the TL.

From most of the people I have talked to and seen run on the B&K, its usually right on or within +0.4dB of the TL.

Until last year when it was calibrated, it was running .9 higher than the TermLab.
Since the re-calibration it has been much tighter.
Scores are near to and even under the TermLab.
But with any transducer, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure will manipulate the score.
Although accurate, the BnK is not the most consistent sound pressure measuring device.

In my opinion, the BnK "mic" should be retired and the "sensor" to use for world records should be the same used for world championships...the TermLab

Like Zac said...the B&K can be manipulated by the environment pretty easily.

I have seen it read lower than the TL at indoor shows.
