CONGRATULATIONS!
You now own one
of
the most useful and informative
frequency analysis devices ever available to the music
lover. The R-130's one-third octave configuration lets you
see -actually look at -sound more precisely than ever
before. Now you can see what you hear. The R-130 will
help you get more out
of
your speakers and your listening
room than you thought possible.
For
example, now you will be able to change the
speaker placement and not only hear the difference but see
which frequencies are affected and by how much. You will
be able to see how moving furniture in the room acts as a
mechanical, acoustical equalizer changing the sound, not
always for the better. With the R-130 you can meticulously
adjust a high quality one-third octave equalizer, like the
AudioControl C-131, to combat the mechanical equalizer
effects
of
room acoustics. And you can check the fre-
quency response
of
individual components such as tape
decks and compact disk players quite easily.
In brief, the R-130 can help you achieve extraordinary
sound quality and the sheer pleasure
of
high end musical
systems.
Clearly, these are strong promises.
