Hi, I've got this cool looking thing (not an alien) and i'm yet to determine it's use.
Though i've given it some google and wikipedia and everything, I'd love to know exactly what it is and what i can use it for. (I don't feel like throwing it away - cause it looks cool.)
Is this beautiful contraption for audio or for "In electronics, the decibel is often used to express power or amplitude ratios (gains), in preference to arithmetic ratios or percentages."
Here's a long description:
It's got two nice strong handles on the front (looks very professional)
It's got two meter needle things, one labled dB level and the other dB distortion.
It's then got 3 sets of buttons! (wow!)
under the dB level meter, it has a section of buttons called function, choose: 400Hz, 1000Hz "LEVEL" (whatever that is).
It's got a section called distortion under the dB distortion meter, including: 30% or -10dB, 10$ or -20 dB, 3% or -30 dB, 1% or -40dB, 0.3 or -50 and lastly a "CAL" button.
Then at the bottom it has the third set of 8 buttons, called "range" that range from 30V or 30cB to 0.01V and -40dB.
It has two banana screw terminal thingies for input and ground. Theres a line going from them to the third set or "range" buttons (suggesting you look in the range you're looking for).
And then a power light, and switch. It runs off 100V ac and has a fuse and a distortion, level 1 and level two adjusting screw things.
