Best, Kenneth From: AUDITORY - Research in Auditory Perception [mailto:AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx On Behalf Of Bob Carlyon Sent: 20. juni 2007 10:07 To: AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx Subject: spectrum analysers Dear all, We're looking to replace our ageing HP3561A spectrum analyser. We're looking for a 2 (or more) channel 16-bit device for analysing signals in the audio domain, for example at the output of a B&K artificial ear or a KEMAR head. HP (now called Agilent) do sell something that looks a bit similar (the 35670A FFT Dynamic Signal Analyzer, DC-102.4 kHz), but we're interested in looking at alternatives. So, if you have recently bought a spectrum analyser for audio work, I'd be grateful for recommendations and/or warnings. If there are several responses I'll collate them & post a summary, so no need to respond to the whole list cheers bob -- Dr. Bob Carlyon MRC Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit 15 Chaucer Rd.
