Audio Precision Introduces Two-Channel Models Of APx Audio Analyzer

Next generation design and improved performance from AP now available under
$10,000 in the US

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- AES -- Audio Precision, the
recognized standard in audio test, today unveiled two-channel models of its
award-winning APx500 Series audio analyzer.
The APx520 and APx525 are two-channel audio analyzers that combine an
award-winning user interface with AP's legendary commitment to performance.
APx525 has two balanced and two unbalanced analog inputs and outputs plus 192K
digital inputs and outputs. The APx520 has the same performance and analog
connectors, but no digital I/O. New breakthroughs allow APx520/525 to generate
signals all the way down to 0.1 Hz. Maximum input voltage is rated at 300 Vrms
(160 Vrms for unbalanced) and typical THD+N is -108 dB (at 1 kHz, 2.5 V).
APx520/525 is also the only audio analyzer in the world to enable common mode
rejection ratio (CMRR) measurements in accordance with IEC60268 section
14.15.1.
Both instruments are for R&D engineers and production technicians who want
fast and easy audio test, but who may not require the ultra-high performance
of AP's 2700 Series or the simultaneous multiple channel capability of APx585
and APx586.
"Our customers expect AP to provide the right tools for the job," said
Bruce Hofer, co-founder and Chairman of Audio Precision. "The 520 and the 525
have better performance than any analyzer in the mid-range class and I'm happy
to report that the lower channel count allows us to offer both instruments at
a very competitive price."
APx is high speed, high performance, and user friendly. Innovations
include one-click measurements, the automated measurement sequencer and
continuous sweep technology that can derive 14 measurements in as few as 7
seconds. No other analyzer is faster or easier to use.
Price and Availability
Pricing for the APx520/525 starts at $9900 in the US. Price may vary in
other countries. All AP Sales Partners are now accepting orders, and the first
units will ship in mid-summer 2008. Please contact your local AP Sales Partner
for demos or more information.
