MAX Audio Measurement System

MAX™ is a professional-grade, dual FFT measurement system with five microphones. It is ideal for general audio system measurements, system tuning with DSP, troubleshooting and testing equipment, and solving OEM integration challenges. MAX™ has many applications in home audio, car audio, marine audio and professional audio.

With full integration of VXi and MVi DSP controls, MAX™ simplifies your measurement setup, allowing you to perform measurements and DSP adjustments with one computer and one software application: TüN® 4.0, which offers micro-automations that speed up equalization and channel delay setting.


What can you do with MAX™?

• Test, troubleshoot and analyze any audio system with full detail on the three dimensions of audio: level, frequency and time… all in real time!
• Streamline the tuning of car audio DSP products in real-world shop environments. Simply connect the hardware, place the microphone array, launch TüN® software and go!
• Quickly test room modes for home audio and home theater subwoofer placements, and accurately adjust crossover and phase controls for a seamless transition to the subwoofer.

• Evaluate individual or multiple audio zones in a marine installation for frequency response and level.

• Get the best measurements possible with 5-microphone averaging! MAX™ multiplexes up to five included microphones to conduct single FFT measurements of level and frequency response (RTA and spectrograph).

• Conduct Dual FFT measurements of up to five simultaneous transfer functions with precise displays of magnitude (frequency response), phase, impulse response (delay) and coherence (noise immunity).

• Each transfer function captures all the audio data for real-time or comparative analysis.

• Built-in Test Signal Generator (pink and white noise, sine waves, square waves, etc.), plus WAV file playback capability.

Powerful Automations with VXi and MVi amplifiers:

• Automatic True Delay feature sets VXi/MVi channel delays in a flash, far more accurately than any other method.
• Autoset EQ feature sets the VXi/MVi parametric EQ’s to your selected target, in seconds. You can also overlay VXi/MVi equalizer controls over the frequency response display to perform precise, manual EQ adjustments with real time visual feedback.

MAX is Incredibly Flexible and Accurate!

• MAX™ measurement accuracy is on par with professional test equipment that sells for tens of thousands of dollars.

• Wide Range of Inputs (up to five microphones, high-level analog signals up to 80V, low-level analog signals up to 7V, optical digital S/PDIF signals)

• Multiple Signal Outputs (built-in DAC feeding analog line level outputs and headphone outputs, plus optical digital output)

• A built-in USB Hub simplifies connection to computer and DSP amplifiers, or other USB devices (not intended for charging devices).


What is in the Kit?

• The MAX-KIT includes the MAX™ hardware interface,
