SIM-3022 audio analzyer (2 rack space unit)

The SIM-3022 audio analyzer is optimized to be a truly multi-channel instrument so that your time is spent measuring and not setting up or patching a single channel unit. The SIM-3022 analzyer includes:

• Two line-level inputs
• Two microphone inputs with 48 V phantom power and instrumentation-quality preamplifiers
• Multi-function high-precision signal generator
• Professional-grade XLR connectors on all inputs and outputs
• Headphone jack (1/4") with level control
• Onboard CD-RW drive for quick and easy data export and storage
• Optional external mic and line multi-channel switchers
• Optional internal two-channel switcher
• Dedicated operating system and application software

Most basic source independent measurement operations can be completed using only these onboard facilities, but when larger systems or more sophisticated needs are involved, optional line-level and microphone switchers can be added to allow monitoring of multiple points in the signal chain. The versatile single rack, SIM-3088 16 line-level switcher allows immediate switching of analysis to multiple signal processing channels. The switcher can be configured as 8 inputs/8 outputs, 4 inputs/12 outputs, or all 16 outputs. The SIM-3081 half-rack 8-input mic-level switcher enables measurements in several places (zones) of the room being analyzed.

Once patched, measuring any point in the system can be accomplished without ever needing to touch a patch cable again, since processor and microphone inputs and outputs are software-selected through the switchers. In addition, their single and half-rack sizes provide complete flexibility for locating the switchers where you need them, whether front of house, a remote equipment room or other location.

SIM 3 switchers not only facilitate much greater mobility in changing test points, but, when isolating single loudspeakers or speaker arrays for test, they automatically handle muting of loudspeakers excluded from the test, and even switch monitoring points in the processing chain to appropriately follow the loudspeaker selection. With a switcher patched, nearly any point in a system can be measured without anyone plunging into the back of a heavily wired rack.
