Getting into measuring audio devices

[undeakyetonde]

Hello everyone

I have
1) An audio interface - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen (2x 1/4 line level inputs, 2x 1/4 outputs)
2) A phono preamp which I would like to measure - Fluance P10

I'm interested in measuring
1) Frequency response (~=RIAA compliance, specs state +-0.5 dB)
2) Overload margins (headroom) at different frequency ranges
3) Maybe THD?..

Is there a tutorial for newbies? Is this interface good enough to do measurements of phono preamps? What software should I use? How do I turn on inverse RIAA EQ in that software?

My main computer is an ARM Mac and I would prefer to use it, but I also have Windows 11 x64 and Linux x64 setups if needed.

Thanks!

You can use Multitone Analyzer,has everything you described,has great support and it's own thread here and it's free.
