| ok...the TL is used for outlaw....
RECORD runs are used with the BNK brad...
and the bnk is a very expensive meter compared to the TL
and mike jones has his own BNK so that is why his price is prob cheaper then usac | |

| cost aside what i was asking about being lower, is it normal to read lower db numbers on the bnk then the tl? not cost, numbers. i ask because yesterday was the first time i had ever seen or heard of a b&k meter. so i know nothing about them. also i ask because everyone talks about tl being accurate compared to ac's not being accurate and so forth.  | |

| From what I know the B&K will read lower than a TL, up to 1db or more sometimes. Yes it is normal though. | |
