SMD Distortion Detector Testing and Review!

[ahole-ic]

Well let's be honest. This thing has like 2 led's for specific frequencies. It IS possible that it knows what a perfect 40hz sine wave should look like and does the comparison this way.

Yeah that's why I mentioned that. I'm not saying this is a bad product or doesn't do what it was designed to do. I have no experience with it so how would I know? The only point I'm making is that for that cost I would rather have the scope.

Was that a wig on top of your subwoofer enclosure?

Pretty neat product -- as for the pricing it sounds fair.

Add up R&D time and the fact it's not a huge mass production product and you end up with the price they have. If they made a million a year you would see it under a hundred bucks... but most likely only hard-core guys and shop owners are in the market for this device which is maybe 1% of the total car audio market; and then a small percentage of them will actually know about it and buy it.

As an installer it would be an awesome time save and worth the money.

I have a quick question on this SMD Distortion Detector. Will this meter detect distortion at any frequency? I play alot of low frequency songs, my box is tuned to 28hz. I notice the meter a 40hz detector light, will it be the same distortion at 34hz? because thats where i burp at. Reply asap, thanks

It really tune the amp at 40hz...but I have my box tuned to 29hz with 3k, no stinky unless I play a clipped song, play a lower lower tuned song, or just clip it by upping the subwoofer settings on the deck.

My buddy built one of these about 7 years ago. to bad he never got a patent, sent the specs to china and had it produced.
He still brings it over every time I need my gains checked. I'll post up a pic of the raw model.

People dont get how cheap those things are. You can seriously make one yourself with DIY parts you can get online..
