Option Filters

Option filters can be installed in the analyzer section of any Audio Precision instrument with analog domain analysis (2700 series, Portable One and ATS-1, and legacy System Two and System One instruments), adding filtering for weighted noise or other special measurements. 2700 series instruments accept up to seven option filters; Portable One and ATS-1 accept up to two. In operation, only one option filter can be selected at a time.

Audio Precision makes a wide variety of Option Filters, including low-pass and high-pass filters, bandpass filters, weighting and other noise measurement filters, sharp cutoff filters, de-emphasis filters and receiver testing filters. We make a "blank" filter circuit card so you can create your own filter, and for 2700 and System Two instruments you can obtain a kit that provides for an external filter connection. If you need a filter that we don't make, contact us and we'd be glad to quote a custom filter for you.

In addition to the plug-in Option Filters, two special multi-stage filter modules are also available, the S-AES17 Low-Pass Filter and the OPT-2020 Pre-Analyzer filter. Both of these filters have a section that is installed previous to the analog analyzer input, reducing out-of-band noise that may impair the measurement.

Miscellaneous Option Filters	FBP-500X Bandpass Filter. High-Q 500 Hz bandpass for CD DAC linearity measurements. View Graph FLP-B20K 20 kHz "Brickwall" Filter. The FLP-B20K filter offers negligible effect below 20 kHz, but very high attenuation above. Its purpose is to remove sampling frequencies, typically 44.1 kHz or higher, as well as switching components. FLP-B40K 40 kHz "Brickwall" Filter. Similar in purpose to FLP-B20K, but with knee at 40 kHz, typically used for removing sampling frequencies at 88.1 kHz, 96 kHz or higher. FIL-USR User-buildable Filter. This blank circuit board with connector allows building building custom active or passive filters. System Two External Filter. This kit allows a user-designed filter to be connected externally to a 2700 series or System Two instrument.
