I need something that I can put on xlr pins and be able to tell the output voltage. that's basically itdoes price affect the accuracy, or do more expensive one's just have more widgets?I'm a total douche-nozzle when it comes to electronicsthanx in advance~schwill

The "fancy" ones are just more accurate. They measure RMS voltage (Root Mean Square) of the sinewave. I got a cheapy from radio shack and it doesn't measue voltage at all after a month.....piece of junk. I use one all the time at work so I got one made by Ideal. Fluke also makes some good voltmeters.*edit*Oh and Harbour Freight.....I'd be very careful what you get from them cause IMHO 99% of thier stuff is crap. They also take *FOREVER* to ship (it took me several weeks to get orders).
Just scored this one @ ratshack on sale for $19.99when I bought my parts for my rc battery pack for my UA5http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F008%5F002%5F000&product%5Fid=22%2D813Peace
RMS of a sine wave wouldn't apply here for DC voltage? schwilly needs to measure the phantom voltage which is DC, not AC.marc
