Amplifier testing in-progress

Any Amplifier
Our amplifier testing station is built around the Audio Precision APX515 and Clio 12 analyzers, which are used to make voltage measurements across a massive resistive dummy load comprised of heater elements in a mineral oil bath. We can test 4 channels to 2 ohms, or 8 channels to 4 ohms, with no practical power limit.
Analyzing the Results
A Hioki 3334 power line analyzer is used to monitor the power draw from a 120/240 VAC 30 amp regulated utility power circuit. A 13.8 VDC 100 amp regulated supply allows the testing of automotive amplifiers.
We can test to any industry standard, and have produced a data file viewer for presentation of the compiled results. You can learn more about the Common Amplifier Format here.
Custom-built dummy load houses (16) 5 kW elements in a mineral oil bath.
