How to test balance between right and left channel


Does anyone know if there exists a simple straight forward test equipment that can tell me whether the left and right channels of my speakers or amps or preamps or CD are outputting the same level/strength of signal?

Can this be done with the help of a multimeter, if so how?

many thanks.

If you have a mono source you can measure the output of each channel, BUT measuring the output will tell you nothing about the system’s music balance as the measured signal cannot take into account the room’s acoustic properties.
If your system has the ability to adjust the balance level, I would just do that and enjoy the music, after all, that is what the balance control is there for.
