Measurement
An audio signal can enter the analyzer through either the
Balanced (XLR) or Unbalanced (BNC) input signal connector.
The audio signal then passes through the AC/DC coupling
circuit. If AC coupling is selected, its DC component is
blocked, thus only the AC component of the signal passes
through to the Ranging circuit. However, if DC coupling is
selected, the entire signal passes through to the Ranging
circuit.
