APx517B Series Acoustic Analyzer
Acoustic Production Test Redefined
The APx517B Series acoustic audio analyzer is specifically designed, configured and priced to meet production-line needs. It is ideal for the testing of speakers, microphones, headphones, headsets and the wide range of consumer electronics incorporating speakers and microphones. With the APx517B, manufacturers can deploy an integrated acoustic test system that brings the renowned quality, reliability and robustness of AP’s lab-oriented analyzers to their manufacturing lines.
Drastically Reduce Setup and Reconfiguration Time
As an integrated system combining audio analyzer (signal generation and acquisition), power amplifier, headphone amplifier and microphone power supply, along with any required digital interface such as Bluetooth, the APx517B has the power to drastically reduce setup and reconfiguration time by eliminating multiple individual components (from a variety of vendors) and their associated cabling. Additionally, and unlike those individual components, the APx517B is uniquely delivered with an accredited ISO/IEC 17025 calibration, confirming that each unit meets its published specification.
Designed and built for the production line
Unlike acoustic analysis systems assembled from an assortment of individual components from different vendors, the APx517B is an integrated system designed and built specifically for the production line.
The robust hardware of the APx517B is complemented by the APx500 audio measurement software. For the manufacturing environment, 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.
