10 FFT Spectrum Analyser.
Most spectrum analysers used in sound engineering are based on analogue
filtering techniques. For many years this has been the only practical solution for
real-time analysers at a sensible size and cost. However, modern Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) used by the MSD Family have made it possible to implement
the complex FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm, which radically out
performs its analogue counterpart many times over. For example, the number
of frequency bands has been increased from the traditional 27 or 31, to a
massive 512, and the dynamic range to 80dB. These improvements make it
possible to analyse noise, distortion(IM) and frequency response in a far more
detailed and accurate way than ever before.
To enter the FFT Spectrum Analyser mode, select [FFT] key from the Main
Menu in Full Feature Mode or select the ‘FFT-Analyser’ from the start menu.
Frequency is indicated at the bottom of the screen from 48Hz to 20kHz, with
signal level indicated on the left hand side in 10dB intervals from -70dB to
+10dB.
10.1 Routing Audio to the Analyser Applications.
Both Spectrum Analysers (1/3 Octave and FFT) available in the MSD shares
the same destination in the Audio Matrix (#51 Spec). In that way when toggling
between the 1/3 Octave and the FFT analyser it is not needed to set-up the
Matrix more than once.
Please refer to section 5 'The Compact Audio Matrix' for information on how to
route signals in the Audio Matrix.
