Ching, would this help to explain why c-weighting is recommended:
A-weighting takes into account the typical human ear response, reducing the frequency response of the SPL meter to the 500 - 10,000 Hz range, where our ears are mostly sensitive, while the C-weighting measures the whole range from 32 to 10,000 Hz. For HiFi-measuring purposes, I'd suggest to use the wider C-weighting set up.
