Key Steps in Conducting an Amplifier Test
Video Description: In this Quick Tip Video, Audio Precision expert Eric Schultheis demonstrates how to make audio measurements on a stereo power amplifier using an amplifier tester. He will also show each measurement along with its properties and settings, then execute the tests as an automated sequence and generate the resulting report. This audio measurement process will determine whether the amplifier meets the specifications.
Earlier this year, we launched a new video series: Audio Test Sessions with APx. These videos are created to help engineers get the most out of their APx system, learning about applications, along with tips and tricks of test and measurement. All published videos are available on our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe!
