The Audio Multimeter AMM-1 combines useful features of a digital multimeter (DMM), an AC current probe, a Power Meter (Power Factor analyzer), an Impedance Meter, a frequency counter, and a oscilloscope into 1 tool.
Modes of operation:
DC Voltmeter - Measures the DC voltage between two points. 0 - 200 Volts
DC Min/Max - Super fast capture of the minimum and maximum voltage. Great for looking for voltage drops and spikes. Measures over 200,000 times per second. 0 - 200 Volts
AC Volts / AC Current - True RMS measurement of AC Voltage and AC Current simultaneously via high speed A/D converters and a tuned current transformer. 0 - 150 Volts RMS, 0 - 100 Amps RMS (Can be used independently). Clipping monitor is activated. Clipping displayed via a red LED.
AC VA and Power Factor - Measures VA (Apparent Power) and Power Factor 0 - 15,000 VA, 50-100% PF. Clipping monitor is activated. Clipping displayed via a red LED.
AC Freq and AC Impedance - Measures the frequency of the AC signal and the AC Impedance of a speaker load. 10 - 20,000kHz for frequency counter. 10-500Hz for AC Impedance. Impedance 0.1 - 200 Ohms. Clipping monitor is activated. Clipping displayed via a red LED.
True Power Dyno - Measurement of maximum true power being delivered to a load without clipping of the signal. Power Factor compensated. Clipping monitor is activated. Clipping displayed via a red LED, any power produced while clipping is ignored. 0 - 15,000 Watts - Авто та транспорт

Im so glad you still have this video up. I got a new AMM-1 and did my first test today on a JL audio HD750/1 and though it sound satisfyingly loud i was surprised to see it do as low as 320 watts rms with 49hz at 0DB and with music it did about 520 watts rms. But i was also unaware that something as simple as having a door or window down or trunk open can cause you to get more or less watts rms on the AMM-1. This one kick ass Device!
video was uploaded in 1080 but it's so long all you see is 360 while it processes for the next few hours...sorry! Thanks for watching!
the tools just are getting more and more handy, damore is amazing.
I like, I want, I need...Santa, are you listening?
Santa forgot me manny years with that gift.. 😭
Tony & Steve - That is awesome! Great new product, can't wait to get to own one!
i cant wait to get one of these in my tool box!!! love the tools Steve!!!
I have a DMM and and oscilloscope. I've been happy with the results so far. But if the price is right, the small form factor and additional capabilities are intriguing. Keep it up D'amore guys!
Watched, liked, and shared. Loved this video. The D'Amore engineering AMM-1 is looking very promising for people that want to know how their system is actually performing in given conditions, I might have to put this on my Christmas list.
already planning on some sort of reset button...this is still a proto, final version will be done in about a week.
Mr. Meade you and D'Amore Eng. are beast keep up the good work
cool deal now i see many more amps being tested in the trunks ... migjt have to get one
Thanks go out to tony and Steve . Cutting down installation time and trouble shooting I grab this tool first for fast results . Thanks again
Damn cool and useful looking piece of equipment sir..
I know what i want for a present this holiday!
Awesome work tony!
Finally got 1........only took me 6 yrs lol been tryin for the last yr or 2 to find one shout out to sky high audio for getting some in finally
Damn this is a Basshead dream tool well done SMD
WOW LOVING IT!!!!!
I know it's not for that but doing alarms and starters you do deal with negative voltage triggers. Like I said I know it's not for that but there are negative voltages in a car, it's relative from your reference point.. It's nice knowing when brother cleo ran the lampcord for his power backwards lol. This looks nice, Using 2 meters at the same time for this stuff is a PITA, plus it does things much more expensive items do we don't have. I want one!
I'll take one! Very sweet
10 years later and still saving money to get one…..
359 is a good price might have to pick one up.dont know who made the comment about it being priced high but whoever it was really dont understand how this device can make us serious competitors testing a hell of alot easier.
I really like this tool. I have done a lot of variational analysis in this area. You never know accurate the data you gather is because music happens so fast. I like that this can lock onto a peak. What I think would be awesome is if it could also log the data to a sd card to view the info like in a wave file such as in a "sound forge" program.
Love the New Multi Meter
Amazing product! Nice!
I think it´s your best gadget so far
That's incredible
Freakin love it. Goin to very very handy!
Yup, it's DAmoreEngineering! :D
I'm sure Tony will let us know. I was looking at it and my best guess is it is a digital crossover. There are lots of RCA inputs and outputs and the circuits are repeated over and over for each RCA.
I would be awesome if you guys could put a usb port in this so you could attach it to a computer and get an active graph on the computer screen in addition to the numbers on the meter
Great idea!
I hope these are available by Christmas.
Neat product there!
Though, the CT current sensor idea can get a bit fiddly as you have to remove the cable, pull it through the meter and then reconnect it..
That is beautiful
True dat! He needs to borrow some nitrous from the IS-F. The big box is burfday, there's room in the stocking for some handheld goodies 8-P
Most awesome! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
when are you going to do another build and film it all the way through like you used to? please do it again :) i love watching those
Santa is still trying to get his sleigh off the ground with that heavy ass box he is already bringing you right now. hahah ahhhhh shit! :D
Im just now getting into the sub game an i could really use this to tune my amps so i dont pop my kickers
They are $459 and pre order sale is $359 . Get one and offer more to your customers . I'll be adding the Amm1 my Smd tool collection just as soon as I can get my paws on one .thx Steve , Big Juan and Tony
I want now!
He clearly explained why he has it reading 0, plus its just as simple as if you switch the leads around to confirm if the lines are crossed or there is no voltage, right?
That is slick.
@meade916, Steve, I love the new meter. Very cool and a good price.
In Tony's lessons/videos he is showing how to calculate Power Loss from heat due to clipping. It's Actual Power RMS - Power RMS Sinewave. It would be useful to be able to measure how much power is wasted due to clipping. It is a simple calculation and would be a good feature/learning tool..
Finally. Some real stuff. Do you know what turns ratio you are using for the CT? Also thanks for talking about phase angles. Most people don't understand the influence it has, and how capacitors can help with the reactive load.
Hmm, maybe you need a negative indicator instead of just leaving it at "0". Might be hard to tell if the wires are crossed or you really don’t have any voltage on the line.
Dang thats nice
making a dash mounted meter kinda like the volt meter you have using this same technology would be awesome. then you wouldn't have to constantly climb into the trunk every time you want to see what number you got
YEEE STEVE!!!
I want one!
I have no idea WTF most of those functions are, but it looks like a nice piece of equipment. i'll just have to stick to a DD1+ and CC1 for now until I get a little wiser :/
That is awesome much success to you
thanks 300!
Your only getting better with time and your million dollar device is not out yet so you are getting there and will create it good luck bro
+Meade916 do u have any audio multimeters that show the amplifires power out put clipping and distortion that is a all in one Device
So this can be used in place of a DD1 to set gains?
gotta get 1 of this ''
I am looking at buying the DD1+Plus right now but does this AMM1 do everything the DD1+Plus does and more?
is this device capable of measuring % 1 THD ( like DD-1) or just clipping ? i need DD-1 and this. if DD-11 is built in it no need to buy a DD-1
Marcus, we did everything possible to keep the costs down. Currently to get a tool that does this you are talking $2k-10k. Google "fluke power analyzer" and check it out
vary cool.
hey steve u ever think of designing a smd amp?
hmm interesting. I wonder how much Steve
Do Sub Test Sunday instead of Amp test Tuesday or both would be good
i am a little late but better late than ever awesome product!
what is that board with the DIP switches below the RF amp?
What's that 360 eq hi low adapter thing next to the meter there lot of dip switches there
I like -DC voltage better because if you hook it up and it says 0 people might think it is 0volts haha. at least with -12v people will know it is wired the wrong way ;)
Excuse me, Mr. Meade. I am wondering if you knew how to install an aftermarket market amplifier to a stock head unit. I have gone to numerous install shops here in Laredo, and they all tell me it is possible just they are not sure how to do it. I was hoping you could let me know how to do it so I can tell them. Please and Thank you.
Line out converter.
Sounds like the shops you went to have no business being in the car audio business... A LOC is very common and there is no excuse for not knowing about them.
Very good tool, but here's the question everyone wants to know, how much will it cost?
dammit another awesome tool and this will be alot easier for me to justify the purchase vs. the amp dyno as im not in a shop and would not get the amp dyno to pay for itself lol
looks like if you wanted to buy only one SMD tool, This is the tool to get!
Point taken. Production version will read negative
Hi Steve I'd like to send you a Polk PA D1000 for the amp test Tuesday, how would one go about doing that?
So is this an alternative to the DD-1?
Is it me or is today passed Tuesday? Because i don't think i saw an amp test Tuesday video. :/
did the final version have data hold?
+Eian Wahgener Did not see you get an answer to this, I just got mine in and yes it does have a data hold on most features. I know such as Amplifier watts you can see real time and peak/hold. Still messing with mine, not feeling its accurate but Its only been in the shop a week and were really busy so at this point I'm going with it could be on my end until I get a better understand of it.
That heavy breathing was tripping me the fuck out, lol. Anyways.. Good stuff you guys are coming out with, love these videos. =D
Looks like an awesome tool, i'm sure I'll get one. One thing I dont understand though - why no reset button? You say yourself in the video "you hate menus", yet the only way to reset a reading is to go all the way through the entire menu? Seems like a disappointment :( I'm no firmware engineer, but what about making one button be the on/off button, leaving a button for "reset". Just an idea.
I think the price is right
So whats the price going to be on that
What is that mother board for?? a cap??
Does D'Amore have a UA-cam channel?
I'm a noob, so can somebody tell me about phase angle and this awesome product? Like does it measure it?
Take my money!
He uses jl audio batt cable.
Very very cool, but is it filmed by Jason Voorhees? :)
@13:13 what is that thing to the right of the meter? Anyone?
dyno a polk audio PA880 pleeease!
just my opinion is all, it's a great product, I wish I had one but to much money.
How much!???
yo i fuckin need one of these
Reset problem handled
Saying that there is no minus voltage in the automotive industry is incorrect. Some older vehicles are positive earth
Get away Snap-On guy, I’ve got SMD tools to buy. 🧰
I watch the whole thing lol
Nvm, answered my question just now
Did you even watch the video?
please don't speak for the "average person" as not everyone is in the same situation you are in.
Does not measure DC current
Cool product, but the camera man has that creepy breathing thing going on.
What is the resolution for the AC and DC voltage...does it measure milli-volts?
"A bunch of meters are hard to reset min/max mode" @ 6:01 ....All reset the same freaking way, by holding down the min/max button for 2seconds.
"might be a thousand amps" @ 7:47....Really, starters do not pull more than a couple hundred amps. If your starter is pulling a thousand amps you have problems.
Sad that you have to disconnect the speaker wire just to run it through the meter, much easier with a CLAMP.
@11:30....Sorry but your using your subwoofers while trying to get measurements???? Don't you know you have to use a DUMMY load since the impedance changes with fhz on your subwoofer?? I use a 4ohm 1000watt dummy load and a 60hz sine wave and measure away...I also get ACCURATE readings and when I use formulas (numbers....for those that are too slow to understand) I get actual power output/watts.
If your going to all that trouble just to measure how much power you got going one with the box/subwoofer/cabin space/box rise issues, take account that music is DYNAMIC and you cannot measure it....sure you can measure its peaks but what would be the point??? Measuring the amplifier on a bench with a steady power supply and a dummy load (100% PF) then that's should be GOOD ENOUGH to figure out somewhat to expect power wise from that amplifier.
I can also take efficiency with my meters, DOES this one do that? Or would I need TWO meters??
Did you even read my question? Because you sure didn't answer it.
