dmm gain setting

Recommended Posts

i wouldn't trust the dmm method , i would trust my ear more than a dmm

1 thing i will say about the o-scope is that you can find out if and at what level your preamp outputs clip which to me is almost as important as setting your amp gain right , if you have a clipped signal going into the amp the signal out will be clipped too .

Uhhhhh... the dd1 doesnt find the preamp clip point????????????????????????? (and in about a 1/10th the time)

huh?

Sorry if i misread, but, i thought you were saying (and your not wrong) that a Oscope can find a preamp clip point? Correct?

And im saying that the DD1 does that also,....... and much much quicker......... did i misread?

you really had to PM me with this same exact message? okay...

first off, there is a thing called caps lock. use it.

secondly, you will not automatically blow shit if you use a multimeter. people have used it and meteors didnt fall to the earth when they did it, so its an okay way to go about tuning gains.

thirdly, if he's being cheap, give him $140 for the dd-1 and shut your trap. or lend him the one you dont have.

fourthly, shut the fuck up and use proper punctuation and grammar.

you read right , i was reading your post and you said the dd1 doesn't , so was like huh . some day when i have some cash to burn i might get a dd1 just because but i figured the o-scope would be more of a tool than the dd-1 being that the dd-1 is designed for car audio and nothing else . actually i was outside just a few minutes ago double checking my preamps and sub amp output with my scope and it only took 2 minutes to do . guess it is just a matter of preference . your enthusiasm about the dd-1 is peaking my interest though

WHY NOT PURCHASE A DD-1.. U REALLY CANT COME UP WITH $140 ? WOW .. THE ECONOMY IS NOT THAT BAD ..THE DD-1 IS FAR MORE SUPERIOR COMPARED TO DMM AND MUCH MORE ACCURATE & EASY THAN A OSCOPE & NOT EVERYONE CAN READ AN OSCOPE PROPERLY. THE DD-1 IS THE BEST INVENTION SINCE AN OSCOPE .

A dd-1 is like 170$

That's a lot to use it a couple times, how bad could it be if I used a dmm

dd1- $150

Setting by dmm and blowing your sub and then having to buy a new one or recone-----$150????

Looks like a win win to me. You will end up spending the money any way. Use it to set your gain and put it in your tool box. This is car audio, this wont be the last system that you have and wont be the last time you have a use for the tool.

I know someone with one, he charges 20$ to do it

Buy your own DD1, and charge 10 in your area......... youll gain, and gain, plus, have the tool. Not to mention,..... youll gain....

Invest.....

This sounds like a good idea, but won't have the extra cash to do it for a week or two so dmm for now

lol. i have a scope. works perfectly fine for my needs. and i got it for free too, so i dont need to waste that money on something i dont need and will use like once. i'll state again that im sure you dont even have one of those detectors.

i never knew it was so hard to turn the gain knob up til the wave form flattens out on the scope screen. zomgwtf so difficult.

how can anyone possibly tell the difference between these two waves? its impossible!

and you DO realize that an oscilloscope is useful for oh say, heart monitors in the hospital, or checking fuel injectors in your car, or having pong built from it back in the late 50's?

an oscilloscope is not made to do one specific thing, like the dd-1 is. it has thousands of uses.

you're done.
