INSTRUMENTS for AUDIO MEASUREMENTS
Model 210
MODEL 410 DISTORTION METER
Model 410
• Measures audio distortion, noise level and AC voltages • Also a versatile vacuum tube voltmeter.
• Distortion levels as low as .1% can be measured on fundamental frequencies from 20 to 20,000 cps, indicates harmonics up to 100,000 cps • Distortion measurements can be made on signal levels of .1 volt to 30 volts rms • The vacuum tube voltmeter
provides an accuracy of ±5% over a frequency range from 20 cps to 200 KC. For noise and db measurements, the instrument is calibrated in 1 db steps from 0 db to —15 db, the built-in attenuator provides additional ranges from —60 db to +50 db in 10 db steps.
MODEL 210 AUDIO OSCILLATOR
• Provides a sine wave signal from 10 cps to 100 kc • Output level within ±1 db when working into 600 ohms (reference 5 kc) • Power output, variable to above 150 mw • Hum and noise, —70
db at 5 volts output • Distortion is less than .2% at 5 volts output from 50 to 20,000 cps, slightly higher at higher output and frequency extremes.
