February 15 Meeting: Audio Precision and the Noise Floor

How Low Can You Go?

What are the capabilities of modern test equipment and its ability to test very low noise and distortion devices? Can test equipment of today keep up with increasingly impressive specs? Are the specs real? We’ll review some real world examples from both the electrical audio test world as well as room acoustics testing.

Join Chapter 36 Wednesday, February 15, at 12 noon at iHeartMedia, 9660 Granite Ridge Drive, San Diego. Audio Precision buys lunch. Members and visitors are welcome as always.
