Accurate Measurements Made Easy

Take your speaker system design to the next level with the Dayton Audio Dats V3 Computer Based Speaker & Audio Component Test System. This powerful tool provides accurate measurements of loudspeaker electromechanical parameters, advanced Wright Model parameters, and more. With its compact and portable design, you can easily take it wherever your work takes you.

Key Features

The Dayton Audio Dats V3 boasts a range of features that make it the perfect companion for audio professionals. These include a software signal generator with selectable waveform, frequency, and amplitude, an oscilloscope software mode with dual traces, and adjustable time and amplitude scales. Plus, it connects to your PC via a USB port for easy use.

Measurements Made Easy

The DATS V3 software provides an array of tools that are great for all speaker designers. Measure T/S Parameters, perform a Linearity Test, and enjoy an Efficient Pass/Fail Workflow. You can even calculate VAS from Mmd and measure advanced Wright Model parameters. Plus, the Rub and Buzz Detection feature ensures that your speakers are producing the best sound possible.

T/S Parameter Measurement

Quickly and accurately measure a driver's T/S parameters with the DATS V3. Simply attach the test leads directly to a driver's terminals and click 'Measure Free-Air Parameters' to display the impedance magnitude, Re, Fs, Qts, Qes, Qms, and Le. Then, add mass to the cone or mount the driver in a suitable test box and click 'Measure V(as)' to derive the mechanical parameters such as Vas and Mms.

Enclosure Tuning Verification

Once your driver is mounted in an enclosure, the DATS V3 makes it easy to verify your system's overall tuning for vented enclosures or Q for sealed enclosures. Simply use the 'Measure Free Air Parameters' button to run a quick sweep and plot the impedance magnitude, making it easy to verify the actual tuning of your system.

Oscilloscope and Signal Generator

The DATS V3's software oscilloscope allows you to visually observe the behavior of a circuit when presented with or without stimuli. Used in conjunction with the built-in signal generator, you can hunt down any strange phenomena or confirm that your system is running properly.
