Hi,
I have a use case and would like to build a equipment/tool to monitor the audio power amplifier output in runtime. I have professional power amplifiers (let's assume one is mono amplifier with 1000w power which has 2homs, 4 ohms, 100v output and another one is stereo amplifier with 1000W + 1000W which has output where i can connect 2 ohms or 4 ohms or 8 ohms depends on my speaker load).
I would like to a build a component where i would need to connect my amplifier output to this component to monitor the voltage, ampere, wattage, frequencies, ohms etc in run time. (may be frequencies can be displayed in spectrum view).
Could someone please help me whether we have any module (one or many) can be used to achieve this functionality? i see some equipment in market to do this but i would like to build my own so that i can add all the additional feature like bluetooth etc via arduino.
I am new to the electronics but i have some knowledge on programming side. So, please let me know if my post does not make sense or need more information.
Please refer the diagram that I have attached to explain the tool that i would like to build.
Appreciate your responses!..
Thanks

200M distance ? are you talking about a Remote Interrogation Tool fully digital programmed .
Then the second one is 500M distance with a ---Line transformer --a bit under Half a Mile ??

Hi @duncan2,
Thank you for your quick response!.. The distance that had put in diagram just to explain the context. It would be 50 to 100M etc. Please ignore the distance incase if its taking the questing in wrong way. Expectation is to have to tool which can be used to intercept the speaker level line (either 2 or 4 or 8 ohms or 100v output) to measure the voltage, ampere, wattage, frequencies, ohms etc in run time.
Please let me know if question is not posted properly.
Thanks!

This might take a while as what you want is pretty "cutting edge " so far I have got through medical / the processes of ours and the USA,s "security services" in gathering all your info as you work at your computer including photos ,the police forensic gathering of public data transmission etc .
Its depressing how many organizations are snooping on you.
But I know what you want its just finding it .

Hi @duncan2,
Thanks again for responding!.. Please let me know if you have any recommendations/suggestions to achieve this.

How about a circuit to monitor the amplifier's performance?
Sound Impairment Monitor (SIM) - Is This The Answer?
Sound Impairment Monitor (SIM) - Is This The Answer?
Sense voltage. display level vs frequency.
Sense Amperage. display level vs frequency.
Use XY multiplier IC to give realtime power. display level vs frequency.
Use XY divider cct to give impedance. display level vs frequency.

Thanks much @dotneck335 and @DUG for your response.. Really Appreciated..
@dotneck335 - Since i am not completely from electronics background and i am just learning slowly, i would need to spend some time on the information that you shared to digest and come to back to you.. But Thank you for sharing this information!..
@DUG - Thank you for the idea.. I received the similar idea/information from one of the great expert to try to attempt it.
He shared the below links to do the same way what you shared.
Sensor ampere - https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Current-Ammeter-TA12-100-Arduino/dp/B00HGB9RB4
Sensor voltage - Arduino Based Autoranging AC-DC Voltmeter with TRMS - Simple Projects
spectrum analyzer - DIY FFT Audio Spectrum Analyzer - Arduino Project Hub
Since these all can be used in aurdino, he suggested to calculate the power and resistance in programming to display it. I understood his idea and was going through his suggestions but in the meantime, i was also trying to find out, whether we have any component(one ore many) which would do all these or we have some other better components would help to achieve what i am looking for.
I was also looking for to see whether the components that are listed in the below links can be used for sensor the current & voltage.
https://www.amazon.com/WayinTop-Current-Voltage-DC0-25V-Terminal/dp/B08BZKPSFY/ref=pd_sbs_3?pd_rd_w=w0e9l&pf_rd_p=651d64d1-3c73-45b6-ae09-e545600e3a22&pf_rd_r=T5F3HG0JE5KJ2YCDDGDE&pd_rd_r=ad8cd635-2608-4b83-b277-bad35079f016&pd_rd_wg=ddzaX&pd_rd_i=B08BZKPSFY&psc=1
Apart from this, i saw in some of the documentation where for home AC voltage measurement, the below microcontroller can be used to achieve it. but i am sure it can't be used for the requirement that i am asking. Do we have any similar micro controller which would help or any other new sort of components/modules would help me to achieve it?

Please kindly share some additional information regarding this if possible.
Thank you!..
