    Hi everybody,

    Greetings from Accuwave. 

    So here it is, the new APM-2.

    We've worked a lot with the SSA team in the past year to bring you one of the coolest devices to hit the SPL scene. 

    The only stand-alone SPL meter compatible with Android, iOS and Windows 10 devices using Bluetooth Low Energy technology. No drivers required, no wires, no initial setup.

    In order to use the APM-2 with your device you require one of the following:

    • iOS 8.4+ starting from Apple iPhone 4s
    • Android 4.4+ with Bluetooth 4.0 support*
    • Windows 10 enabled device(Phone, PC, Laptops, Tablets) with Bluetooth 4.0 support**

    * Due to different implementations of the Bluetooth drivers in Android, some devices may have unexpected connectivity issues. We are currently working around these issues. Works on all major phone brands.

    ** App is going online in the following days

    Sensor features:

    • Individually tested and calibrated within 0.05 dB. Incredible measurement repeatability due to the 24bit industrial grade ADC, very short analog signal path and low noise design.
    • Accurate measurements can be achieved from around 95.0 db up to 174.0 db. The high end will be improved in a future firmware update. 
    • 2Hz report rate with 1 Hz frequency accuracy.
    • Stand-alone unit design.
    • 9V Battery powered, with proper battery compartment (sorry for that APM-1 people). This was the only way we could achieve the proper low noise design, DC-DC converters in charging circuits are not friendly.
    • RGB Logo light. Used as identification color when multiple sensors are connected.
    • Approximately 10h continuous battery life with good Alkaline batteries.
    • Auto-off after disconnection.
    • OTA Firmware updates

    Current app features:

    • Record Basscam videos with live SPL scores. No more wasting video time to film a PC screen. Realtime, Peak and Average scores on video recording.
    • Connect up to 2 sensors in Basscam, record instant battles.
    • Measure peak and view realtime scores.
    • Measure an average score over a time period, countdown and class limit included.
    • Video render time is device dependent. 

    Sensor number limitations are platform specific:

    • Max 5 sensors on Windows and Apple devices.
    • Max 2 sensors in Android - will improve in future updates

    We are constantly working on adding more features, and you will receive app updates seamlessly.

    Please send crash feedback when it happens. There's a lot of improvements we can do and we're actively working on the apps. Also, feel free to discuss any ideas we could implement.

    Once this is up and running we need to post a topic and brainstorm ideas for a wireless multimeter.

    Somehow route an inline bluetooth device hooked up to the amps +\- that can transmit real time to phones/tablet/laptop display??? Anywhere within the bt distance should provide instant feedback. Not sure if feasible, but that would be sweet to have wireless dmm and volt meter thats accurate.

     

    Exactly that. Stay tuned.

    Interesting idea.

    We will surely look into it. Unfortunately the current box is stuffed. But why not Accuwave ACM-1? Wireless, same software, same box...

    That could go on our to-do list...

    If anybody has any more ideas, please throw them at us. We gladly accept any input. :D

    ISO loaded being louder on less power has me vexed. I'm terribly vexed.

    I don't know if that's true. really interesting results. Still have to tune the non-iso configuration.

    actually, with am isobaric config, it's easier to bottom out the speakers because you have the equivalent of one speaker in twice the box.

    Prototyping time:

    Operation port.

    The Aliante is disturbingly weak in a sealed enclosure, so I had to port it. Big difference, tuned to around 40hz right now, still want to go lower. I just need a lot of plastic tube :| And somehow integrate everything so it doesn't look awkward.

    Well, it's all installed, using the high level inputs there is no noise, the only thing I've noticed is a digital beeping noise caused by the DRC(as I've read) - when using AUX inputs AND the source(phone) is connected to the charger... so it's probably a ground loop somewhere. Probably easily fixable.

     

    Sound wise it's not an improvement. That would be an understatement. I've rediscovered my speakers and amps. Still have to tune a bit, but everything is already so much better.
