HP 8903E 20 Hz to 100 kHz Distortion Analyzer

The HP 8903E distortion analyzer provides unparalled versatility and performance for audio measurements from 20 Hz to 100 kHz.The HP 8903E combines the functionality of a high performance distortion analyzer, frequency counter, ac voltmeter, dc voltmeter and SINAD meter into one compact package. (The HP 8903E has no source.) For ease of use, most measurements on the HP 8903E are made with only one or two keystrokes.
