signal generators and...

Is there a device that can show me numerically what frequency I am generating at a given time.I am using a rolls signal generator and while it works fine I would like to see where the problems are and solve them with a parametric eq.I'm figuring it would have to run parallel with the signal output.This would make it easier to kill room modes faster.

Kg, Are you using the Rolls MO2020 generator? I have one and it is a great tool. In general, all you need is a sine wave generator and SPL meter. If you really want to go at it, a frequency counter and the above mention would give you best results.

Kg, what do you have other than the rolls? Are you using a SPL meter? What kind of speakers are they? Model? Floorstanders or bookshelfs? These could be some of the factors to consider but judging by the dimensions it look like is your room. Placing bass traps would help. A cube room is the worse place for bass modes because you have the same resonance in all six surfaces. If you want to learn more, go to Rives Audio. They have a ton of useful information. Alfredo

Kg, go to Partsexpress and look up the Neutrik MR1 and Goldline TS-2. In fact, the Goldline TS-2 has a frequency counter, sine wave generator, and a SPL meter all in one.Alfredo
