APx1701 current sense output must also be connected to an 
analyzer balanced input. 
Additionally, a low-resistance ground strap should be con-
nected between the chassis grounds of the APx analyzer and 
the APx1701.

APx1701/APx analyzer system interconnections

Typical interconnection between the 

APx1701 and an APx analyzer, 

using one amplifier channel, 

one microphone channel and current sense.

Testing a loudspeaker driver 

Simplified diagram for acoustic

testing and impedance

measurement of a loudspeaker driver.

Mount the loudspeaker driver, and connect it to the 
APx1701 amplifier output channel 1 (pins 1+ and 1– on the 

SpeakON connector). See Amplifier Output Connection
