Yeah, but this is a digital sound meter, about three years old,
and it's quick enough to keep up with spikes and transients. I
use it to keep my extravigant (my wife's description) sound system
in tip-top tune. You should see the display jump between 40 dB
(the lowest level it will read) and 56 dB when the self-timer was
going.
