NEXUS Features

Test tone Generator

Each Base Device on the NEXUS system includes a test tone generator, the output of which can be applied to all analogue inputs via a separate bus. A digital version of the generator signal is also fed to an additional bus.

signalgeneratorThe following settings can be made by the user:

  • Level: -34 to 6 dBu with direct access, adjustable in 1-dB steps
  • Frequency: 20 Hz to 20 kHz adjustable in 1-Hz steps plus typical fixed frequencies
  • Shape: The generator can also be used as a noise generator. White and pink noise as well as sine wave can be selected. The noise signals can also be used for calibration.

The test tone generator can be used for calibrating equipment or rooms as well as for troubleshooting purposes. The generator produces a standard-level signal for calibrating or comparing input signals. For troubleshooting, the generator provides a system-internal signal for checking NEXUS or verifying individual settings.
Due to the sophisticated generator structure (digital generator, D/A converter, analogue generator bus, extra digital bus), the critical A/D-converter components are integrated into the signal path.
