A distortion meter is a type of electronic test equipment used to determine specific frequencies that cause distortion in electronic devices.[1] The device is primarily used in audio related equipment.

Features and uses

A typical unit injects a signal in to the input of a circuit and monitors the output of the circuit for distortion.

Types of distortion

  1. Amplitude distortion.
  2. Frequency distortion.
  3. Phase distortion.
  4. Intermodulation distortion.
  5. Cross over distortion.
