Voltmeter for Vandersteen 5a setup


Hello,

I have the Vandersteen 5A speakers. I need to setup the speakers myself. The manual refers to using a voltmeter to set the volume to 1v AC using the meter and also test to make sure that the crossover is set correctly. Will this meter work? I need to be able to get a reading of 0.707. Can someone recommend an easy budget friendly voltmeter? Amazon has about 100 of them.

Thanks
Rob

They most likely want to apply low frequency 1V sinewave signal (100Hz -1kHz) and measure/set -3dB point. Any voltmeter will do (no need for true RMS).  One recommended by Czarivey is pretty good one.  I have cheaper, non-RMS version for more almost two decades.  On one occasion I checked it against 6-digit Agilent multimeter and it was accurate within displayed resolution.
