DATS V3 Tutorial - Dayton Audio

This is a Tutorial regarding the DATS V3 computer Based Audio Component Test System and I hope it can be useful for you guys and if you have any issues with using it please let me know.

Excuse me if there are any mistakes in the methodology and if there is anything which is wrong, please put it in the comments and share the knowledge ^_^.

thenks for video, any video about test box method, i be very thenkful

una consulta, al probar dos o tres veces el mismo parlante o bosina da el mismo resultado o cambia los resultados en cada vez que se hace la prueba, te consulta siempre haciéndole la misma prueba a un mismo parlante

Hey there, i tripped over this Video while looking into a question i have regarding the DATS. So my Test Lead Calibration yields about the same results as yours, with the Impedance increase at the end (~10kHz+). I did quite some measurements, both with the provided test-leads, aswell with other cables (calibrated ofc). And i am convinced that the test-lead "error" isn't subtracted in measurements.
How i got to this conclusion:
I did a test-lead calibration, and after that, measured the test-leads in this same configuration - same result.
Measured a cable with two banana-ends plugged directly in the DATS (calibrated on this cable too), that has not such a rise, then calibrated for the test-leads, then measured the same cable with the test leads again - i get the high frequency rise again in the measurement.

This should not be like that in my understanding. Can you verify this? Or even have an idea whats going on there?

With kind regards

Hey quick question, what about drivers with dual voice coils? how would you connect the DATS? only one side?

From 10K to 20K the bottom line always falls away. I see it on your screen and I can see it on my unit. Any idea why this happens. And it only happens with one channel ?. Some videos show both lines as flat.

Ok, I've got a mystery for you to figure out. I have a Monitor Audio 12" that I just tried getting the TS parameters using the DATs v3, but when I tried measuring the VAS, it told me to add more weight than the 506g that I had on there. I kept going up and up, and it keeps saying to add mas. I'm now up to 4094 g, and it's still saying TO ADD MORE MAS!!!! What the heck IS GOING ON???!!! The first measurement was fine, but not the VAS. Any advice?
