used DRA Labs’ MLSSA system, a calibrated DPA 4006 microphone, and an Earthworks microphone preamplifier to measure the SVS Prime’s frequency response in the farfield. I used an Earthworks QTC40 mike, which has a ¼ " capsule, for the nearfield responses. The TosLink optical input locked to data with sample rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz. I performed a complete set of measurements using the Prime’s analog Line input, repeating some of the tests using the TosLink input. For these tests, I converted the MLSSA signal to 24/96 digital using my Ayre QA-9 Twenty A/D
