ATS-1 (Depleted Supply)

ATS-1 Self-Contained Audio Analyzer

Providing bench-quality, high-precision test to service, installation and maintenance applications

DEPLETED SUPPLY
The ATS-1 is now officially on Depleted Supply Status.

Please contact your local AP representative to discuss your application and potential replacement products.The closest replacement products in the Audio Precision portfolio are the APx515 or the APx525 analyzers.

Audio Precision continues to offer Service and Accredited Calibration for the ATS-1. Please see Services & Calibration for additional information.


ATS-1 analyzers bring bench-quality, high-precision test and measurement to maintenance, engineering and production facilities. Whether in broadcast, communications, bench or production use, the ATS-1 offers a complete, easy-to-use audio test set housed in a rugged metal case that’s ready for almost anything.

ATS-1 provides comprehensive two-channel analog and digital generation and measurement. With twelve different measurement functions selectable at the push of a button, they are comprehensive while remaining user-friendly. Easy-to-set-up sweep capability produces graphs of frequency response, distortion vs. frequency and even amplitude sweeps. Non-volatile storage of up to 30 tests allows easy, one-button recall of your favorite test setup.

Versatile Emulation
The HP8903 emulation mode allows easy drop-in replacement of aging HP8903s. GPIB connectivity allows users to control the instrument from an external source.

• Independent analog and digital signal generators
• Digital interface analysis
• HP8903 emulation mode
• A wide range of analog and digital test signals
• Programmatic control for high-speed automation (GPIB)
• A full complement of graphing and reporting options
