Description
Developed on the shoulders of the incredibly popular PAA3, the PAA3X inherits all the widely praised features of its predecessor but with many
refinements, new functions, and an all-new design. Expect a rich array of sound analysis tools, including 31-band and 61-band real-time spectrum
analysis, RT60 reverb time analyzer, sound pressure and line meters, internal signal generator, EQ setting calculation, microphone calibration, and
speaker polarity checking abilities. The inclusion of a snapshot button enables you to take instant screen captures and save them to an SD card
for later reference. The detachable measurement microphone and included 5 meter extension cable mean measurements can be taken remotely,
ideal for measuring high SPLs when you really don't want to be in the room. With a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the PAA3X is the must-have
tool for every serious audio engineer.
