1.1 Introduction
The RTX6001 is a high-
performance Audio Analyzer with a large degree of flexibility. It
supports a wide
range of audio tests, due to the
PC. Connected to a PC it operates as a USB audio device. This means that a wide range
of audio analyzer software is available
one that provides the
functionality needed in each particular case.

The RTX6001 provides two output channels available as balanced signals on XLR
connectors or
unbalanced signals on BNC connectors. Each channel has a 3
attenuator with 20
dB steps. This allows full range signals (sine wave, balanced) from
100 mV to 10 V.
Two differential input channels are available on XLR connectors. Each channel has a 7
stage attenuator with 10
dB steps.
