Dayton Audio's WT3 makes measuring loudspeaker driver parameters easier, faster and more accurate than ever before. While previous generation woofer testers took around 6 minutes to measure 30 impedance points, the new WT3 measures over 30,000 data points in just a few seconds using a new swept sine technique that is only available with the WT3. The result is a very high-resolution impedance measurement that allows the extraction of an extremely accurate driver parameter set, suitable for the most critical loudspeaker design work. Free air parameters are measured in just a few seconds. VAS can be measured by traditional test box, added mass or, more conveniently, just by specifying the 1W/1m SPL of the driver. No other loudspeaker impedance tester is as fast, versatile, or as easy to use as the WT3. WT3 hardware consists of a compact USB interface unit with attached USB cable and alligator clip leads. It's manufactured on state-of-the-art equipment using precision surface mount components. Windows compatible software provides an easy-to-use interface that allows you to be up and running very quickly. You can save as many as 20 impedance measurements per project and then overlay and compare any or all of the measurements to create a custom report complete with all your notes. Perfect for quick incoming QC inspections. For Updates Visit http://www.daytonaudio.com/wt3updates.html

Measure speaker parameters of any driver, large or small
Compact USB interface with molded test leads
Data can be printed or saved to create a driver parameter library
Parameters can be exported to WinSpeakerz and other popular box design programs
Measures VAS using added mass, test box, or SPL method
Straightforward, easy-to-use measurement software
Manufactured on state-of-the-art equipment using surface mount components

The primary application for WT3 will be testing raw drivers in order to gather the speaker parameters required for speaker design, but loudspeaker designers can also use WT3 to verify the resonance and Q of completed loudspeaker systems. You can even measure the 1 kHz inductance of your crossover inductors and the impedance response of complete multi-way loudspeaker systems.

Minimum System Requirements:

IBM PC or compatible system with 64MB RAM
500 MHz Pentium III processor
MS Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, or Vista
One available USB 2.0/1.1 port

Great tool but somewhat quirky
Monday, March 29, 2010
Ray from Houston

Care must be taken to not let the leads hit any type of steel and short out to each other. In my case, the leads were touching conduit as I was measuring impedance at the backboard of a large speaker cluster. While I was disconnecting & connecting the next driver, the leads would lay down and touch the conduit. This caused it to really mess up and give very odd readings. When that happened, I had to stop what I was doing and spend the next 5-10 minutes trying to get the calibration back in line. Before I figured out what was going on, I had Parts Express send me another unit. When the next unit acted the exact same way, I started analizing what I was doing. Once I let the leads always hang free when not attached to a driver, I was good to go.

Once I figured out this particular quirk, the tool worked GREAT!!!!!

Finicky, but so far gets the job done

Installed and calibrated easily. Provides a good look at what's inside complete systems, as well as parameters for enclosure design. Re-calibrate often.
