Can a meter under $300 directly test watts?

The new AMM-1 is the tool for the job.

Absolutely!

Its definitely more audio related than this one, but I was still curious how this would suffice as a second option which is obviously more accurate then the old "clamping" method with two meters.

This meter is also potentially cheaper then two separate meters.

The clipping light on the AMM-1 does set it apart though as THE best tool to have.

I'm anxious to know how accurately it works. By the way, really enjoyed going through your thread on the work you put into your build.

Yep me too! It looks more oriented for people doing 3ph industrial power measurements so I'm curious how it will be on smaller audio applications, but I'll try out some tests and see.

Thx for the build comments! :good:
