1. GENERAL
The LDM-171
is
an easy·to·use, semi-automatic
distortion meter
that
can measure
all
total
harmonic
distortion
in
audio amplifiers
and
communications
equipment.
It covers
the
entire audio band from
20Hz
to
20kHz with a high sensitivity
of
0.1% full·
scale.
An auto-tuning circuit enables distortion
to
be
measured easily even in the
1%
and lower ranges,
where manual tuning
is
difficult.
A highly sensitive
built·in millivoltmeter enables
the
LDM-171
to
function also
as
a signal-to-noise
(S/N) meter.
