Minirator MR2 is a powerful audio generator, offering a full range of useful analog test signals for calibration, maintenance and repair of professional audio equipment.
The rotary settings wheel combined with surrounding fast access function keys enables instant and intuitive operation without compromising fine adjustment capabilities. Instrument operation is further enhanced with a backlit LCD, illuminated mute button, safety hand strap, jack for external DC power supply and an USB interface for firmware updates.

Intuitive Operation
The most frequently used parameter changes such as waveform, level and frequency are accessible via function keys. The sensitivity of the rotary wheel is adjustable with the “sens” key.

|
Mute Key
The “mute” key is illuminated and mutes the signal generator output. A flashing backlight indicates the mute status to the operator.

External DC & USB Connector
For continuous operation beyond the typical 20 hours of a set of batteries, an external wall-plug power supply is available as an option. The USB interface enables firmware updates via the internet.

MR2 Wave Forms
| Sine Output MR2 generates extremely pure sinusoidal waveforms with - freely selectable frequencies from 10 Hz to 20 kHz
- level range from -80 to +8 dBu
|
 | Sweep The start frequency, stop frequency and a step resolution as fine as 1/12th of an octave can be adjusted. Analyzers like the Minilyzer automatically trigger to this signal and record the frequency response of a device under test. |
 | Chirp The chirp signal is a sine-wave with defined start- & stop frequency and continuous frequency increase over time. It is used in the recording of frequency responses, the measurement of impulse responses and the acoustic assessment of rooms. |
 | Delay Test Signal This is the designated reference signal to measure the acoustics propagation delay time from speaker to speaker in e.g. churches or auditoriums. Testing is carried out in combination with the Acoustilyzer AL1. |
 | Pink & White Noise Pink or White Noise is synthesized with high spectral density, normal amplitude distribution and with infinite cycle duration. An automated on-off cycle mode for convenient RT60 measurements with the Acoustilyzer AL1 is included. |
 | Polarity The saw-tooth waveform of the polarity test signal is an ideal stimulus with only moderate stress to speakers. Minilyzer ML1 and Acoustilyzer AL1 take advantage of this and correctly analyze the polarity of the incoming signal. |
