APx58x Series-1

APx58x Series AUDIO ANALYZERS 8- and 16- channel modular audio analyzers Channel count meets broad range of digital I/O for simultaneous multichannel audio test Multichannel analog configurations APx582: 8 inputs / 2 outputs APx585: 8 inputs / 8 outputs APx586: 16 inputs / 8 outputs The APx58x Series combines an award-winning user interface with Audio Precision’s legendary commitment to fast and accurate performance. APx’s user-friendly innovations include a range of connectivity options, two easy-to-use UI modes, one-click measurements, code-free automation, a sophisticated reporting engine, and multiple signal paths within a project. A true multichannel analyzer A powerful, intuitive UI with one-click measurements Powerful automation and sophisticated reporting Support for the complete range of APx digital I/O options The APx585 is a true multichannel audio analyzer, with 8 simultaneous analog outputs and inputs for testing multichannel audio devices. A multichannel analyzer allows not just faster testing, but also a complete picture of performance that a two channel analyzer with switchers might miss, such as output sag across channels during full power output tests or phase and crosstalk interactions. With the HDMI option, it is ideal for designing and testing consumer devices such as home theatre receivers. The APx586 adds a second input module for 16 simultaneous analog input channels, ideal for high-speed, high-channel count test such as automotive or pro audio mixers and other applications. The APx582 provides the same 8 channels of analog input, but with 2 channels of high-performance analog output that includes DIM/TIM distortion tests and selectable output impedances of 20, 50, 75, 100, and 600 Ω. Automation and reporting Repetitive bench tests and production testing can easily be automated with the built-in measurement sequencer, and saved as a project that can be used with any APx analyzer. Production Test mode provides an optional simplified operator interface with multiple run statistics, created and supervised by a manufacturing engineer. Access the API if you prefer: documentation for VB.NET, C#.NET, MATLAB and LabVIEW is included. Create powerful reports with Microsoft Word that let you define your own formatting and add graphs, tables and logos. APx586 16-channel analyzer OPTIONS Select the options that match your needs. All models use the same software, so sharing projects is easy and modular hardware allows for future upgrades. Digital Serial Adds direct connectivity for digital MEMS mics Adds Bluetooth radio for Bluetooth audio test Advanced Master Clock adds jitter clock, sync and trigger I/O Adds HDMI source, sink, monitor, aux and ARC I/O Adds Advanced Digital I/O and Advan
