No. Audio Test Equipment Description Flags
11Pink Noise Generator A very clean noise generator for loudspeaker and room acoustics testing 20Jun
16Audio Millivoltmeter For Testing Amplifiers (etc) - An analogue design, 3mV to 30V with dB scale 21Feb
17A-Weighting filter For noise measurements. Ideal for use with the AC Millivoltmeter above 21May
22Simple Audio Oscillator For use with the millivoltmeter, for testing amps and speakers
31Full Featured Transistor Tester Just the thing to check the transistors for any project Mains Wiring
41Opamp Design + Test Board This project will allow you to quickly assemble an opamp circuit for testing. It is very easy and intuitive to use, and an indespensible tool for experimenters (4 opamps)
52Distortion Analyser A simple distortion meter you can use with an oscilloscope or millivoltmeter, this project will allow reasonably accurate absolute measurements of THD + Noise (Total Harmonic Distortion), and very useful comparative measurements.23Dec
58Speaker Measurement Set This project is based on work done by Siegfried Linkwitz (and is reproduced with his kind permission). The project is in three parts - a cosine burst generator (don't worry, it will be explained), a microphone, and a calibrated peak detector. With a suitable audio oscillator, complex and accurate speaker measurements may be made.  This is a fairly complex project, and uses a combination of analogue and digital ICs. The much hoped-for updates have not yet materialised :-(24Apr
59Self Oscillating Amplifier Excuse me??  No, it is not April!  Based on a idea from a reader, this project allows you to make a power amp oscillate at a defined frequency, eliminating the need for a low distortion oscillator for distortion measurements. Includes a simplified distortion analyser circuit to suit.03Jun
74Simple RF Probe This simple circuit is indispensible for any RF work. Using just 4 passive components, it uses your multimeter as the measurement display.
82Loudspeaker Test Box A very simple project that allows you to quickly and accurately determine the optimal impedance correction network accross a loudspeaker, to ensure that the crossover actually works as you intended. It also allows you to measure impedance. 30Sep
86Miniature Test Oscillator MiniOsc - A high performance test oscillator, with both sine and square wave outputs. Ideal for bench or portable use, and has low distortion (<0.2%) and a battery drain of less than 2mA from a single 9V battery. 10Apr
106hFE Tester for Transistors An hFE tester with switched collector currents for the Device Under Test, covering a range suitable for the selection and matching of output transistors for amplifiers such as the JLH Class-A, ESP DoZ etc. (contributed project) 14Aug
119Component Signature Analyser Test components while still installed in a circuit - component signature analysis is an easy way to find faulty parts, especially if you have a working circuit for comparison. Features dual voltage and current ranges, and connects to your oscilloscope (in X-Y mode) to show a graphical indication of the circuit node. 18Dec
121Inductance Adapter Measure inductance for crossover coils using your multimeter or a frequency counter. Several variations for you to experiment with and end up with a useful tool. 18Dec
124High Power Dummy Load A dummy load for testing amplifiers (and optionally power supplies). In the full version, it offers impedances from 1 ohm to 16 ohms, with a free-air power rating of up to 360W. This can be extended easily by using cooling as described in the article. 15 Aug 2009 15Aug
