Book Review: Learning Audio Testing and Measurements

For those who need to refresh their knowledge or learn about audio test and measurements, Jan Didden reviews a great - and big! - book on the topic. Audio Tests & Measurements by Igor S. Popovitch is one of the many self-published works by this proficient writer based in Australia, also the author of several popular books on vacuum tube amplifiers. This particular book runs about 180 pages, but that is deceiving as the book’s format (A4 size) is about twice the size of most soft cover books.

You can DIY! Build an Audio Dummy Load

You can DIY! Build an Audio Dummy Load

An audio load is an essential piece of test equipment for any audio electronics workshop. Having created the very popular Heathkit ID-5252, more than 35 years ago, Gary Galo decided to design a new option for everyone to build now. The ID-5252 contains four 8Ω, 60W power resistors. The biggest limitation of the Heathkit load is power handling. Series and parallel combinations can be used to produce various resistances and power levels — up to 240W at 8Ω, using all four resistors. But, simultaneously testing both channels of a high-powered amplifier requires two ID-5252 units. Fortunately, the raw parts for building an audio load are easy to find.

Practical Test & Measurement: REST for Automated Test and Measurement

This article is a great introduction to the use of web interfaces, and embracing web standards for automated testing of audio equipment, fundamentally exploring the possibilities of REST - which stands for Representational State Transfer, a widely accepted set of guidelines for creating reliable web APIs. Written by the founder of Seattle, WA-based QuantAsylum, this contributed piece advocates an open-design philosophy for controlling and querying things via REST, and leveraging the know-how of millions of developers. This article was originally published in audioXpress, March 2022.
