Try your local branch of TLC Electrical wholesale

I presume that an spl meter is to test sensitivity. If so, where can I
get hold of one, and how are they used?

Sorry to ask what may be basic questions. I've not come across any for
sale (e.g in the Maplins catalogue) but I'd like to be able to test my
current speakers before an amplication upgrade.


The one in the photo is a Realistic model and you can order one online from
Cornwall Electronics.
