From: jeffl on 11 Mar 2010 00:42 Please share your thoughts One of my Event asp8s has had an intermittent low end flutter and after it goes away it sounds okay but is a bit louder than its mate. Sometimes the thing gets really loud for a few seconds--really annoying. I called Event and may swap out the amp. Strangely its almost back to identical volume and hasn't been a problem for a week now. Anyways-I'd like to get a device to check the volume and freq output of the things to make sure they are perfectly matched. I was a little concerned to find the hi/lo/and output trim knobs were different on the 2 units--one has them made of a hard plastic and the other has hard rubber knobs--funny that I never noticed this before--the guy at Event says they're just different end-caps and that there has been no design change, etc between shipments. If anyone remembers--I had taken home 2 pair of these that actually sorta blew up when I plugged them in--smoke-a few sparks--made for some excitement here at the Loven homestead. People made fun of me and I guess rightfully so! Turned out they actually had a batch shipped to GC that went to the wrong country--something electronic. I still wanted/and finally received a good pair a few years ago. Is it a spectrum analyzer I want. I would like to check the room and speakers if possible. Any product suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks again! Jeff
From: Neil Rutman on 11 Mar 2010 00:52 For checking output volume you could use a sound level meter which you can get at radio shack for $50. For frequency measurement you could try recording each speaker independently with the flattest mic you have and then analyzing the wav with a frequency analyzer. I use the one in waves gold pack but I'm sure there are many good free ones out there. Not sure if this is what you're looking for. You might post this to RAP (rec.audio.pro) if no one can help you here.
