SMD D'amore Engineering IM-SG Impedance Meter (Updated Pics Page 4 and 8!)


Recommended Posts

Just a few things off the top of my head, i'm sure some pro installers out there have even more uses for it.

1. Signal Generator (this unit makes a true sine wave unlike some of the old units that made a stepped square wave)

2. Ported or bandpass box tuning - It will tell you exactly where your port is tuned

3. Measuring the T/S parameters of speakers (Fs, Qts, Vas, ect) can be measured and calculated with some knarly math. We will provide a spreadsheet or formulas to ease the pain.

4. Test passive crossovers

5. Find the Fs of any speaker (got some nice tweeters you want to bi-amp but not sure how low you can cross them? This tool will tell you)

I'm sure there are other uses as well

Oh, wow. That's a lot more versatile than I had imagined! Thank you for the response.

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

I'm honestly curious because I've never dealt with impedance other than just wiring - what is the practical application for this? Like, what settings can it help you with, etc.?

Just a few things off the top of my head, i'm sure some pro installers out there have even more uses for it.

1. Signal Generator (this unit makes a true sine wave unlike some of the old units that made a stepped square wave)

2. Ported or bandpass box tuning - It will tell you exactly where your port is tuned

3. Measuring the T/S parameters of speakers (Fs, Qts, Vas, ect) can be measured and calculated with some knarly math. We will provide a spreadsheet or formulas to ease the pain.

5. Find the Fs of any speaker (got some nice tweeters you want to bi-amp but not sure how low you can cross them? This tool will tell you)

ahhh so i was very wrong

i figured it was to measure the ever so dreaded "impedance rise"

im very intrigued by number 2 though
