Title: Wavetek 185
Post by: tubesornothing on August 31, 2009, 08:31:04 pm

I am thinking of purchasing a wavetek 185.  Its a sweep generator that has quite low distortion.  Not justfor amp work but also for the other audio work I do here.

Have any of you worked with other audio sweep generators that are comparable to this one?  Low distortion, sweep 20-20kHz, etc.

I haven't used that particular model, but I've used a couple other Wavetek sweep generators. Wavetek has a good rep for sweep generators. The military and FAA like them. When I hear the name Wavetek, I think about sweep generators, just like I associate the name Tektronix with scopes.
