The Audio Precision APx515 is a two-channel audio analyzer designed specifically for production test environments where speed, repeatability, and ease-of-use are the deciding factors. The instrument provides two analog inputs, two analog outputs, and 192 kHz digital I/O in a compact chassis weighing only 4 kg, and according to its datasheet, it can execute a comprehensive sequence of common audio measurements in under three seconds. The APx515 shares its software environment with the broader APx Series, which means test projects authored on one APx instrument run natively on another — supporting collaboration between R&D, contract manufacturers, and production facilities working on the same product.

The datasheet identifies production audio test as the primary application: stand-alone operation on a production bench, controlled by a keyboard, foot controller, or barcode scanner; or fully automated operation under control of a master .NET or LabVIEW application using the APx API or LabVIEW driver. The datasheet also describes a collaboration workflow where a test designer using a higher-tier APx525 can create a production test sequence and email it to a contract manufacturer whose APx515 runs the project natively — and where the APx515 operator can save a recording of the actual device output and return it as part of a single project file back to engineering for further analysis. Additional listed applications, available through software options, include IMD, MOL, dynamic range, and FFT measurements (SW-AML) and acoustic response measurements (SW-ACR).

ValueTronics International stocks, tests, and ships audio analysis instruments from our 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Audio analyzers are precision instruments, and the way they are stored, handled, and verified before shipment directly affects what arrives on the customer's bench. Our in-house technical team works hands-on with this category, which is why our condition reports describe what was actually measured rather than what a previous owner believed about the unit.

## Brand Heritage

Audio Precision has operated as a privately held audio test and measurement specialist since 1984, headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. The company has retained its independent identity and brand throughout, focusing exclusively on audio analysis instruments rather than being absorbed into a broader test and measurement portfolio.
