SRS - SR-1 Audio Analyser

[ashok]

Is this as good as an AP-1 ?

$6,900 new -- Audio Analyzer - SR1

Cheaper than a typical AP ! Looks nice too.

So no one has hands on experience on this one so far ?
Cheers.

The AP is pretty much in a league by itself. I think the SRS unit competes well with the Agilent 8903E and the Prism D-Scope.

That's right. The AP is in a league by itself .

He said "AP-1" ! This means "System one" ? A fully equipped SYS322 is nearly (not exactly) on the same level as the SRS in analog domain...The System one digital domain is much less powerful. I would compare the SRS rather with the SYS2322 or a Rohde & Schwarz UPL dual domain.

Maybe not the same workmanship...as R&S or AP but imo impressive specs for the price.

fwiw, we're thinking of getting one of the Stanford vibration analyzers instead of an Agilent.

Yes I meant the AP System-1.
Looks to me that for Audio use it might be a really good buy .

Off course there is always a used equipment market..........
BUT cost must be put in perspective with 'overall expenses'. So a new SRS might still be worth while.

Hi,

Yes, S1 is good enough for most DIY-projects and repairs. The DSP option is very useful. System one with 2ch. analog generator , 2 ch. analyzer and DSP is also called SYS-222.

I remember R&S from college days. Built like a tank and rock steady performance.
Great instruments. I guess they are still built that way nowadays.

Does Gossen still make DC power supplies? We had lots of them all over or the labs. Absolutely misused by many students but they survived and worked flawlessly. Fantastic supplies.
