• Crosstalk - Signals from one channel leaking into another channel. Normally, this happens between left and right stereo channels. - A generator drives one channel and this channel's output value is noted; meanwhile the other channel is set for zero volts. The measured channel left open. - Whatever signal is induced into the tested channel is measured at its output with an rms voltmeter and noted. A ratio is formed by dividing the unwanted signal by the above-noted output test value, and the answer expressed in dB.
- XLR plugs and sockets are used mostly in professional audio and video electronics cabling applications. Home audio and video electronics normally use RCA connectors.
- Single ended output (MP3 headphone)
2 – Signal, 3 – Ground.
e.g., Channel A: 2 – Left output, 3 – Ground
Ground
Channel B: 2 – Right output, 3 –
- Differential output (loudspeaker)

• Signal to Noise Ratio - Signal to noise ratio, as a relative measurement, must be made with reference to a specific output amplitude from the device under test. - The rated output amplitude must be calibrated as the 0 dBr reference of the analyzer. Then the residual output amplitude (noise) is measured and expressed in dB relative to the reference.
the connector is colloquially known as a cannon plug or cannon connector.
- The most common is the 3-pin XLR3, used almost universally as a balanced audio connector for high quality microphones and connections between equipment.
2 – Non-inverting signal, 3 – Inverting signal

• Frequency Response - Frequency Response measurements are made by stepping or sweeping a sine wave oscillator, at a fixed amplitude, across the spectrum of interest. - Usually stated in terms of dB variation from some reference midband frequency(e.g., 1KHz). - The test may be easily modified. The frequency range and direction of sweep can be changed from the 20 KHz ~ 20 Hz stored by entering new values for START and STOP under SWEEP (F9) DEFINITIONS panel.
