Triton - USB Audio Interface

The Triton is a USB Audio Interface, intended for acoustical measurements. The analog inputs and outputs operate phase-synchronously, thereby allowing the use of deconvolution techniques, such as with MLS and sine sweep measurements. USB's Plug & Play architecture and the compatibility with native Microsoft™ Windows™  and Apple Computer™ Mac OS drivers enable instant use without driver installation.

  

Signal levels report 
Each individual Triton is supplied with a measurement report of the accurate full scale input and output voltage levels at 1 kHz.

 

Applications

  • Acoustics and vibration  measurements

  • Electronic system measurements

  • MLS or sine sweep based measurements

  • Professional audio

Due to its small size, the Triton fits easily in your pocket.

Input attenuation
To attenuate the input voltage or to increase the input impedance, you can use an input series resistor, which forms a voltage divider with the Triton input impedance. The table below shows the attenuation for some standard E96 series resistors. You can mount yourself resistors in the cable plugs, or order attenuator cables from Acoustics Engineering.
  

 

Input attenuation and impedance versus series resistor.
Series Resistor

Input gain
An input gain exceeding 0 dB is available on request. The additional gain will add a single pole/zero high-pass cutoff in the input frequency characteristic. The cutoff frequency is given for several gains in the table below.
