    Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1. The Audio Precision AUX-0025 Switching Amplifier Measurement Filter. Audio analyzers are generally designed to have broad measurement bandwidths, broader than a typical audio circuit or system and much wider than the audio passband. Such designs enable accurate analysis of...

    (DUT) and the analyzer input to reduce amplitude of the switching carrier before the signal is ranged. The Audio Precision AUX-0025 Switching Am- plifier Measurement Filter fulfills this requirement.

    AUX-0025 and the analyzing instrument to help ensure a proper loading. Mounting The AUX-0025 is fitted with resilient feet for tabletop use. It can also be rack-mounted using the optional rack mount adapters available from Au- dio Precision. Being a passive unit, the AUX-0025 does not dissipate ap- preciable power and requires no extraordinary ventilation considerations.

    In many cases you may want to apply additional low-pass filtering within the analyzer. Both the Audio Precision ATS-2 and the System 2000 instruments have additional filtering available. A standardized and very effective technique to reduce out-of-band com- ponents for measurement is the use of the Audio Precision S-AES17 filter set, available for System 2000 Series instruments.
