General
‘The LDM-170 measures the distortion, SN (signal to-noise ratio), and signal levels in audio frequency circuit.
‘A highly selective balancing network is used to eliminate the fundamental frequency in che 20H to 20kHs ba
‘The distortion products are fed to a stable high gain wideband amplifier for indication on the mecer. The aml
is effective up to 200kHz and measurements are posible up to and including the tenth harmonie of 20kHe,
‘The balancing network is switched out when measuring the noise and signa levels whereby the high gain ampli
is used as a sensitive voltmeter.
SSIN can be measured to 70dB below the reference level
can be measured for frequencies between 20H2 and 200kHz.
In addition, signal levels in the 100HV to 300V ra
(Output terminal are provided for scope connections when observing the distortion components andjor noise. |
