Will this O-scope be good enough to set the gain on my amps?

i just received the nano dso. im kind of scared to put this to my stetsoms 11k2d speaker outputs at full tilt. has anyone put this oscope to a big amp yet?

It will be fine, just make sure you have the positive probe in the positive of the amp.

thing im worried about is at the highest voltage input for the reading on the nano is 58v. other dso read up to 700v.

Realistically how many volts is your amp going to output? If it is below 58.000000000001, you should be fine.

I doubt you are going to have more then 58v... Try it on you mids/highs amp first so you are comfortable using it....

would you feel safe sticking the nano into 120v wall sockets?

58V at 1 ohm is only about 3300w so it would be fairly easy to have an amplifier that produces an output voltage over 58V. If the scope says the maximum voltage it will read is 58V I wouldn't try it on anything bigger...

I am aware, I missed the part about the Stetsom 11k.

I would give the company a call and see what they said or send it back...

This is the one I bought, it can be found for a tad cheaper. Easy to use, and very accurate, Velleman is the only brand I would use....

I only have a 360 watt amp 4 ohm. this scope should handle my needs ok shouldn't it?

It should do just fine.
