Prism Sound provides audio measurement solutions for the complete spectrum of ever-diversifying consumer audio and home entertainment products. From product design right through to production line, the dScope Series III test and measurement platform provides comprehensive test routines for everything from portable media players to Bluetooth speakers, from portable FM and digital radios to reference-quality home cinema systems, from noise cancelling headphones to mobile telephones.

Testing an FM receiver? No problem - just connect dScope's analogue output to an FM exciter, and not only can you measure the RF receiver performance, but with a powerful feature unique to Prism Sound, you can also evaluate the RDS decoder performance at the same time as measuring the audio quality!

Dolby Digital and DTS Encoded streams
Testing a Dolby Digital / DTS AV receiver or Set Top Box? The dScope series III includes a suite of Dolby Digital and DTS encoded multi-channel audio streams, allowing you to test your decoder performance. And in conjunction with the dS-NET I/O switcher, the dScope III platform can deliver complete functional tests according to Dolby and DTS test specifications.

Acoustic Transducers
Testing an active loudspeaker package? dScope is able to fully integrate electronic and acoustic measurement capabilities, meaning that you can test every component in the loudspeaker, from digital inputs through I2S interfaces, from signal processing to crossover, and right through to power amplifiers and drive units. dScope III not only saves you time by allowing you to work on a single measurement platform, but also saves you money in only requiring a single test instrument for your bench.
