Dayton Audio AS-1 AudioStrobe Woofer Analyzer Stroboscope By utilizing the phenomenon of persistence of vision, the Dayton Audio AS-1 can often help identify the cause of response defects and other useful information about individual drivers as well as complete loudspeaker systems by slowing down a driver's movement to see its performance in motion.
Dayton Audio’s AS-1 provides intermittent illumination of an object for visual analysis, up to a frequency of 665Hz. By adjusting the frequency of illumination, objects in vibrational or rotational movement can appear stationary or in slow motion. This optical illusion called visual persistence allows for a non-contact inspection and status of moving object surfaces well beyond the ability of the naked eye.

Hand-Held Diagnosis The Dayton Audio AS-1 can help identify the cause of response defects and other useful information of individual drivers. These include, but are not limited to:
Non-linearity i.e. rocking motions of the cone Cone, Surround and dust cap deformations Resonance modes in spider and tinsel leads Lead deformation Spider deformation Phase relationships in multi-speaker systems Tuning frequency and behavior of passive radiators Excursion limits of active and passive drivers Large Readout The illuminated screen lets you see important information while using the AS-1 in the dark.
Glow-in-the-dark Buttons Glowing buttons allow you to make changes to the output while using the AS-1 in the dark.
Ultra-Bright LEDs Ultra-Bright LEDs illuminate the object in motion so the visual effect of the AS-1 is reliable
Slow Motion The Dayton Audio AS-1 Audiostrobe was specifically designed with the loudspeaker enthusiast and professionals in mind. The typical frequency response of a loudspeaker contains peaks, nulls, and/or resonances that are undesirable. The causes of such irregularities are difficult to see however by synchronizing the flashes per second at or near the frequency of the inputted sine wave to the loudspeaker, the moving components appear motionless or in slow motion.
