QA402 Audio Analyzer [Retired]

Regular price $499.00 Sale

The QA402 is an improved replacement for the QA401 Audio Analyzer. The QA402 initially began shipping in early May 2021.

Jan 2022: The QA402 has been replaced by the QA403.

Update 17-Aug-2021: The QA402 is on backorder. Given the scarce part availability, we don't yet know when it will be back in stock. As soon as we do, we'll start taking orders again.

Update 5-Aug-2021: We have caught up on all backorders. New orders generally ship in 24 hours.

Update 30-July-2021: We have started shipping backorders and expect to have all shipped by 5-August. After that date, we will resume normal shipping cadence (normally 24 hours).

Update 7-July-2021: We are accepting orders again. Orders placed today likely will not ship until late July or early August. We will not accept orders if we do not see a path to delivery. So, if you are able to order, it means we are confident we can deliver in the next 4-6 weeks. If you place an order, we can cancel at any time before the order ships if needed.

Affordable Audio Analysis

The QA402 is our 3rd generation of audio analyzer and can provide a wide range of audio measurements, making it a cost-effective addition to your bench. Unlike a sound card, the QA402 offers isolated and differential input and output, with input handling up to +32 dBV (40Vrms). The QA402 offers 8 input range, from 0 dBV up to 42 dBV full scale (note the max input, however, is +32 dBV). The output drive is also differential, with 8Vrms (+18 dBV) single-ended or 16Vrms (+24 dBV) balanced.

The QA402 is powered from a powered USB hub--most modern hubs can readily deliver the 900 mA the QA402 requires. But the small size and the fact that our different accessories (mic pre, programmable loads) are also USB powered, the upshot is that your backpack just got a lot lighter if you are debugging away from your bench.

The QA402 can operate standalone, or with an accessory such as the QA451 or QA471, further extending its utility. Automation via APIs is straightforward using the QA402 REST interface.
