TUNE, TEST, TROUBLESHOOT AND ANALYZE ANY AUDIO SYSTEM

MAX is a professional-grade, dual fast Fourier transform (FFT) measurement system with 5 microphones. It is ideal for general audio system measurements, system tuning with DSP, troubleshooting and testing equipment, and solving OEM integration challenges. MAX has many applications in home, car, marine and professional audio.

STREAMLINES TUNING OF AUDIO DSP PRODUCTS IN REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS

5-MICROPHONE AVERAGING GIVES YOU HELPFUL REAL-WORLD MEASUREMENTS

ACCURACY IS ON PAR WITH PROFESSIONAL TEST SYSTEMS COSTING MUCH MORE

PRECISELY ANALYZE THE 3 PILLARS OF AUDIO: LEVEL, FREQUENCY AND TIME

TOGETHER, MAX AND TüN® 4 SOFTWARE CAN ANALYZE ANY AUDIO SYSTEM WITH FULL DETAIL, ALL IN REAL TIME

BUILT-IN USB HUB SIMPLIFIES CONNECTION TO COMPUTER AND DSP AMPLIFIERS

DUAL FFT ANALYSIS

Conduct dual FFT measurements of up to 5 simultaneous transfer functions with precise displays of magnitude (frequency response), phase, impulse response (delay) and coherence (noise immunity).


5-MICROPHONE ARRAY

Up to 5 included microphones can be multiplexed to conduct single FFT measurements of level and frequency response (real-time audio (RTA) and spectrograph).


WIDE RANGE OF INPUTS

Put it all together with the inputs you need — including up to 5 microphones plus high-level analog signals (up to 80 volts), low-level analog signals (up to 7 volts) and optical digital signals (S/PDIF).


MULTIPLE SIGNAL OUTPUTS

Built-in digital-to-analog conversion feeds analog line level outputs and headphone outputs plus optical digital output (S/PDIF).


SIMPLE VXi/MVi AMP SETUP

For VXi and MVi amplifier users, the MAX audio measurement system offers full integration of amp DSP controls to streamline setup of measurements with one computer and one software application: TüN 4.


IT FITS IN A KIT

All hardware, mounting accessories and cables fit in a lockable, water-resistant hard case. An optional probe kit for impedance and electrical measurement is sold separately.

TECH HIGHLIGHTS


AUTOMATIC TRUE DELAY

Set VXi/MVi channel delays in a flash — far more accurately than any other method.

AUTOSET EQUALIZATION (EQ)

To simplify EQ, this feature sets VXi/MVi parametric EQs to your selected target in seconds.

EASY MANUAL EQs

Perform precise manual EQ adjustments with real-time visual feedback.

BUILT-IN SIGNAL TEST GENERATOR

MAX provides an input signal for testing — plus WAV file playback capability.

HOME AUDIO/THEATER

Test room modes for subwoofer placements, and adjust crossover and phase controls.

CAR AUDIO APPLICATIONS

Mic array and TüN software work to streamline tuning of car audio DSP products.

BOAT AND RV APPLICATIONS

Evaluate individual or multiple zones in an audio installation for frequency response and level.

CAPTURE AUDIO DATA

RTA measurements can be captured for later viewing and data analysis.
