Rainman215 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 It would be real cool if someone (tony) could comeup with a all in one very accurate tool that we can measure output in wattage. No calculating just hookup and it says 100wrms per that specific channel as such. Steve its cool you can take the credit for this... Measuring wattage requires the use of a DMM and a Clamp meter, to measure voltage and current, at the same time. Those two numbers you multiple together to get your wattage. Technically, I'm sure a unit could be made that did both, and then took both numbers and multiplied them for you...but realistically, I'm not sure how feasible that would be. Some initial NS-1 testing in Brandon's truck -- we haven't gone in depth yet to see if we can squeeze more out of it; just a quick initial test before we head home today. Best clamp was 6090 watts @ 1.3 ohm actual @ 12.1 volts actual using my Extech True RMS power clamp meter about 6-8 seconds into the tone to avoid picking up initial spikes. I think we have more left in it - more testing to come as we get it dialed in a bit! 380976 - Single Phase/Three Phase 1000A AC Power Clamp Meter : This is the clamp I use here for product testing. You will find it reads much lower than using two normal clamp meters separately for voltage and current as this meter was made to measure power. So not directly comparable to any other testing but my own with the same clamp.

KevinRabbit Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) This site has helped me a lot in whether deciding to go for the DD1, so I would just like to make a post to say thanks It took a while to track down a UK seller, but wow was it worth it. Yes, it's a good chunk of money, but for the speed, ease of use and accuracy, you have another fanboy! Took all of 20 minutes to find the head unit limit, to check if where I had set the amp gains was safe, and to then check them again after all eq's had been applied to find the new volume that its safe to play up to. Priceless and a huge peace of mind factor that makes me the cost vs result worth every penny. That's it, just wanted to say thanks. PS Is there any chance on the next product of adding an input signal of 150/200hz for setting the mid-bass with? Still highly recommend the product even without it.
