ABOUT THE SYSTEM
SpeakerLAB Power Test Analyzer is the system dedicated to power test for audio transducers. PTA is addressed to the development of technology to
limit the power compression, as the execution of tests to select the best component in comparison to more suppliers (pole plates, voice coils, different
materials for parts assembly...), or to optimize the design of the transducer motor, for instance increasing cooling for convection, or also to validate
samples for a production line. PTA analyzes the physical limits of a transducer offering the competence to select the proper solution for its application.
PTA is composed by Hardware (100% recyclable chassis, 19 inch/1 Unit Rack) and dedicated Software. The system employ a user friendly software
with an interview model, its automatic controls permit several presets, as power amplifier parameters and limits or signal crest factor analysis
(measured directly on DUT terminals), giving the opportunity to create new, or directly select some standards for power test (Accelerated life test EIA-
426B, IEC 268-5, Power Handling test AES2, routine to search for maximum power). The wireless connection permit to render cables free your
computer from hardware also PTA Web Manager distributes remote test application via the SpeakerLAB Web Server, so it is possible to control test
status from a remote pc or directly from your personal tablet or smartphone. PTA automatically generate database with HTML and PDF reports
including all graphs, histograms and macro-values of the test. Designed by SpeakerLAB S.r.l. the PTA is exclusively built in Italy with internal
components selected for premium quality and proven durability.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This User's Manual explains the PTA (Power Test Analyzer) software version 1.6.0.
All users should be continuously mindful of these words of caution while using the Power Test Analyzer system.
If not done properly, power testing at high power levels can be dangerous to the user and to the equipment:
•Only qualified and trained technicians should be allowed access to the system. A good understanding of electrical safety requirements is a must
for anyone working with the system.
•Never make equipment connections while the equipment is powered up. Shut everything off (computer and all amplifiers) before installing or
servicing the equipment.
•Never connect or disconnect loads on the amplifier output of any channel that is running.
•Never touch the speaker leads when the system is running. High voltages can be very dangerous and are potentially deadly.
•It’s preferable to use amps that are short circuit protected. The system has fast hardware protections and relative slow software protections, but
when DUT fail the short out can cause damage to the amplifier, so the protections are ever well accepted!
