signal generators and...


Is there a device that can show me numerically what frequency I am generating at a given time.I am using a rolls signal generator and while it works fine I would like to see where the problems are and solve them with a parametric eq.I'm figuring it would have to run parallel with the signal output.This would make it easier to kill room modes faster.

Alfredo,
Yes I have the same rolls as you.It is a great unit but, what I think is happening while I am sweeping the bass frequencies and adjusting room modes with my parametric is....
I'm not catching the whole mode and just taking a slice of the middle.The Q is too narrow.What I would like to do is plot the room from 20-80hz.Then adjust the room modes, width proper.Sounds crazy but I'm a freak about the bass and something is wrong.I will be able to see the mode rise and fall.I have two that are close together due to the rooms 13.5 x 15.5 lenth and width.Sean gave me a great link to a multimeter that has a frequency counter built in.I can now donate my old Army multimeter to a friend and pickup the Tenma 72-4025.We shall see...39.95 what a deal.
At this point I'm using stand mount monitors.All spkrs are set to small and xover at 80hz.It is quite simple to trouble shoot a room were the bass is xover to a single bass channel(LFE).What I would like is to get a better picture of the peaks and dips.At this point I can see them on my spl meter but I don't have a clue what frequency they are.Those test discs space the signals too far a part and it is difficult if not impossible to sweep.Once I get a frequency counter I can sweep and see what frequency and monitor with the spl meter.While I comment rives for his product and all his wisdom,analog parametrics have been around for years and to price a two ch. with only three bands per ch. at the price he charges I think he should drop the price.I would suggest a pro type for the sub and an eq for the mains.Just my opinion.He is a manufacturer who is overstepping his bounds in these forums.I don't know of any other manufacturer who advertises through forum posts.IMHO.
