- Extended Signal Acquisition: Achieve long signal acquisitions of up to 5.4 seconds at 48 kHz to capture even the most intricate audio details.
- Continuous Sample Rate Coverage: The SYS-2522A supports a comprehensive sample rate range from 8 kHz to 200 kHz, including native support for industry-standard 96 kHz and 192 kHz audio formats.
- High-Performance Converters: The system is equipped with new converters that enhance bandwidth and performance, specifically designed for DSP-based measurements.
Analog and Digital Domain Capabilities
As a System Two+DSP® analog domain test set, the SYS-2522A inherits all the analog capabilities of the System Two SYS-2022A while integrating new DSP modules for a broad spectrum of applications. Key functions include:
- Generation and analysis of multitone signals with FASTTEST®
- Real-time FFT spectrum analysis and waveform display
- Maximum Length Sequence (MLS) quasi-anechoic acoustic testing
- Objective testing for reduced bit-rate coders
- A sophisticated Individual Harmonic Distortion Analyzer for precise measurements
Digital Signal Generation and Analysis
In addition to its impressive analog capabilities, the SYS-2522A offers robust digital domain signal generation and analysis via:
- AES/EBU (balanced and unbalanced) and consumer (coaxial and optical) formats
- Parallel, and general-purpose serial I/O for versatile connectivity
This analyzer provides the most comprehensive AES/EBU and consumer digital interface stimulus and measurement capabilities in the industry, featuring:
- INTERVU for sophisticated digital data testing
- BITTEST for in-depth digital data analysis
Dual Domain Architecture
The SYS-2522A's Dual Domain architecture ensures that the analog hardware generator and analyzer operate independently from the DSP modules that stimulate and analyze digital domain devices. This unique design allows you to perform complex analyses using both single and dual connector digital audio interfaces without compromising performance.
