Does this device come already calibrated or would you need to purchase a sound calibrator?

The device is already calibrated. I now use it all the time when I go to dances with live bands and take ear protection as well.Nice instrument for the price!!

I checked it with my other meter and it appears to be already calibrated. Both of my meters match.

I don't know the exact answer but I presume it comes calibrated. It seems to be very close to what actual numbers are when comparing to voice levels but if you're working with a margin of error I'd check with the manufacturer via their website

If you plan on just on using for checking neighborhood noise then it should be fine. If you want to keep it toclose tolerances then you might want to think about getting a sound Gen. But for gen. around the house use No.RavenNote: Sorry for the delay, been busy.

The device is not certified by a calibration lab. That's why the low price.

A "sound calibrator" does not exist as some kind of free standing device. It takes a laboratory to conduct any test of a sound level meter.It is extremely doubtful that this device meets any standards or is calibrated in any way. First see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_level_meterNext look for certification from any independent laboratory. Ask the seller for their testing data by an independent lab. I don't think you will get a reponse.Will the meter show an increase as sound gets louder. I would assume it will in some vague fashion. Is it meaningful?

This device works out of the box. The numbers bounce around quite a bit (I use it to monitor sound in automobiles, so the environment changes with changes in pavement, etc.) I can say that, in my car, the mid-60s are typical of fairly quiet pavement and the mid-70s of noisier pavement, but I can't get really specific readings.But this is an inexpensive instrument that works for my purposes. If you need a really precise instrument, you might need to go elsewhere--and spend more money

The values recorded corresponded well with manufacturers quoted sound levels for air conditioner and air handler.

This AV receiver does not come with a calibrating microphone nor does it have the software to use one. However, it does have instructions and the ability to be adjusted the old fashioned way by measuring the room dimensions, the speaker locations and setting the audio dynamics using the remote control. I suppose this is one of the reasons for the attractive price.

you can adjust the bass&treble by doing a calibration with the auto calibration mike, also you can add a subwoofer which I did

usb connection. mic comes with a calibration check list. however, the mic falls way below industry std so you will not have to make corrections from readings on spectrum analyzer or with dayton software. run the program and it will give you an address to obtain the calibration file.

Yes, the calibration file is provide by Dayton Audio (UMM-6 and EMM-6), or MiniDSP (Umik-1). Cross Spectrum is a resaler. Sorry, I am dont speak english very well. Alvaro Jr from Brazil

It depends on what package you purchase. If your just buying the detector it only comes with headphones.

It is not pre-calibrated, the pre-calibrated one is the PA279Q, which costs $300 more and comes with actually a LOT more features and such. However, these come with really great factory settings and there are many color profiles available to improve it even more with relative ease. If you are not worried about the money and don't intend to use this for gaming, but rather photo editing and such, I'd definitely go with the PA279Q because it has a lot more color features.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

If you purchase a new set they should come with the appropriate equalizer. They do not work without the right equalizer. I think that should be noted in any purchase you make.

Yes! According to Breathometer support "Our device needs to be calibrated after 9 months or 250 uses. To find more information, please visit:https://www.breathometer.com/calibration&quot; There is a $20 charge for factory recalibration.

It comes with a year calibration. It is best to replace after a year and it comes with a certificate.

They only give you enough for a one time calibration. You will need to buy the appropriate storage solution. A little goes a long way.

Go to soundandvision.com to read a full review of this set and the calibration settings they used. Keep in mind that every set is different and those settings should be used as a starting point.

You need a device such as the RadioShack Digital SPL meter.The Emm-6 through software (such as the free Room EQ Wizard) can measure SPL but even then you still need a dedicated SPL meter to calibrate the software

Hi DJ, the product comes with the tool needed to calibrate. Here's a description:http://www.cdn-timeandtemp.com/article/how-recalibrate-your-thermometer

Subwoofer should be set to mid range. You will need the microphone included with the receiver to calibrate. The mic should be placed as centered in the room based on where you have your speakers and placed at a height comparable to listening level when sitting. The system will do the rest once you start the calibration program.

Calibration is easily done by simply rotating a small screw inside the battery compartment. Unlike higher priced sound level meters, this Wensn SLM's calibration screw is very sensitive; small rotation angles cause large changes to the calibration, so be careful and double-check your adjustment. Obviously you will need either a precision calibrator or, less reliably, an already calibrated SLM to compare sound levels to. I've checked two new Wensn SLMs when first purchased and they both were within the advertised calibration range, at least for the 1000 Hz frequency that most calibrators generate. These are less accurate though and not linear enough at the extremes of their advertised frequency range. Calibration is easily done by simply rotating a small screw inside the battery compartment.
