[rippingdragon]

Does anyone have an SPL meter they could bring? I'm really keen to measure my average listening levels with my IEMs and compare them with recommended listening levels.

P.S. can this be accomplished with just an SPL meter next to a headphone/earphone in the open? Or do you need some fancy set-up to simulate the response of the headphone/earphone when it is on/in your head?

I think the way it works is you put the headphones on like normal, and you stick the SPL meter in your mouth. (I don't think other orifices work )

Seriously tho, I have no idea... I'd assume it wouldn't be that simple. Maybe post a thread on one of the main forums about it if you don't get an answer here?

[webbie64]

Oh. I thought he was talking capacitors - which also would have been a bit extreme, I admit LOL.

Seriously, though, hair washing, like all regular personal hygiene, is a reasonable expectation for meets. A supply of alcohol swabs (for iem tips) is also handy.
