D1500 Features
The Samson D1500 Digital Real Time Analyzer uses high quality audio converters along with state of the art
32-bit floating point DSP running powerful digital measurement algorithms to provide a powerful solution for
a variety of audio measurement applications. Here are some of the main features:
• 31-band, multi-parameter, Digital Real Time Analyzer accurately measures the frequency response of any
sound system.
• Large frequency LED display plus custom, back-lit Liquid Crystal Display for easy readability in any live
sound environment.
• The RTA has adjustable meter Resolution that lets you zoom in and out on your measurement, and adjust-
able Frequency range for RTA allowing you to make tighter measurements.
• On-board Phase Correlation meter.
• The D1500’s display can be converted to a large VU Level meter that simultaneously displays both Peak
and VU levels.
• A comprehensive Signal Generator capable of producing White and Pink Noise, as well as a tunable Sine
Wave can be used to flatten a system with a standard analog equalizer, or automatically with the D2500
digital equalizer.
• RTA mode lets you see the frequency response of your system in real time.
• EQ mode configures the LED Meters to display the fader positions of up to 15 connected D 2500 Digital
Equalizers.
• Pristine audio quality thanks to the high quality Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog I/O audio con-
verter boards with 24-bit resolution and sample rates up to 96kHz.
• XLR Balanced Microphone Input with phantom power for connecting a measurement microphone.
• Configure larger systems using multiple D class units which communicate over standard MIDI, or with
Samson’s optional high-speed D-Net interface card.
• A steel and aluminum chassis makes the D1500 eminently road-worthy.
• Three year extended warranty.
