But then their catalog doesn't have much specific information either. FYI, I have 2 Gossen meters (Luna Pro SBC and Multi Pro) and the Quantum Calculite XL. I like the Quantum a lot for its small size and very light weight even though it takes s76 batteries that I know I won't be able to find in the wilderness on a Sunday, which is when they will die. The Gossens both take 9 volts. All three meters give the same readings outdoors in sunlight, but at lower (room or copy stand) levels the Quantum consistently reads 2/3 to 1 full stop less light than either of the Gossens (or my selenium Sekonic, for that matter.) I called Quantum to discuss calibration and was told that if it reads correctly in the sun (sunny 16 rule) then it is in calibration and there's nothing more they could adjust.
