Simon, you forgot to explain me how i can check the wall outlet with my cheap meter...where does my meter has to stand for checking the wall outlet?

Very helpful. I wouldnt dare mess with the bias personally before watching this. Thank you for showing how to measure it...

Big thank you for this video. Watched many times for a refresher. It's that turn on pop that I'm always testing for

179 True RMS! I love my Fluke I bought mine in 1996 for 223 American dollars. Good deal man. Thanks for the video.

Great video i jus learned some new stuff in details which alot of ppl dont actually show u where to set ur multi meter i appreicate this video

This video will help me a lot, thank you for sharing your knowledge.I had doubts on how to gauge the power of my amplifiers from my receivers.

Great video! One of the only ones I've seen out there showing you exactly how to use a Multimeter fantastic thank you.

Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate your video it help me to repair my subwoofer terminals

This is really handy for guys that play and buy old Adcom gfa (Nelson pass) designed amplifiers. They have no dc protection circuit , so very simple and easy to test this way ! As those are notorious for blowing up speakers that way

Thank You ! Excellent explanation .

Helped me too, thanks man.

I have to try this. Thanks.

He is right about those switches to be tested. If you happened to own Carver C-19 Preamp. be careful because it comes with rotating switch which will thump out dc voltage as ou rotate it blowing speaker tweeter, which happened to me. Push button type switches are another bad ones, not much as knife type.

wat een beest mooi hoor.en leerzaam.

I make it a habit of always making sure I turn the sound down on my 90’s Proton Power amp. My new AVR has a safety feature when switching between functions. Where did Simon get his electronics knowledge? The kid knows his stuff. By the way, fuck the dislikes!

Very good..off set measurement

Very good vid. If people go measuring things with multimeters, be 100% shure to wire the meter correctly. If by mistake the meter is setup for current measuring, you will make a short on the leads, and this can be the end for you're gear, or meter...Old devices of say, 30 to 50 years of use, it's a good idea to check and replace all capacitors. I always check first bias current on output stages in amplifiers...

Thank you. I have am amp.with one speaker slightly output

Thanks a very informative vdo👌👍💐

I love the half english and half dutch explenation

wow, the video was just 30 seconds online and I had already 2 thumbs down, so they even didn't watched the video but gave the thumbs down, really sick people.

5:30 what if the reading is actually zero? I have an amplifier that has no sound coming out, neither from the headphone entry. Any ideas are welcome, thank you

Hi, How do I check headphones output on focusrite? What value should I set up and where to put multimeter?

Hello this is very intresting thank you. I just bought a second hand amp and connected to my speakers and the right channel stopped working. checking the volts DC I get a reading of 12.5 mvolts dc on the right channel the left channel i s 0. turning dials I have no pops or cracks is there anything else I need to check thanks

Can you do a video that shows how to take voltage and turn it to watts?

So to test speaker output use millivolts 👍🏽

la traduction en Français direct n est malheureusement pas bonne , enfin je ne vois pas une grosse différence entre ces deux voltmètre PUISQUE 0.8 SUR BORNE DU HAUT avec les deux . es ce bien de prendre du mesure sans haut parleur ? MERCI

my Yamaha home receiver is no longer playing music on the right side. The balance control only works for the left side. Any suggestions what to do

Just curious, shouldn't the black probe be connected to the COM port on the meter ?

you sound like michael van gerwen haha

I have 40mv on my Yamaha amp rs202d which is new. Is that ok ?

On 05:28 mark you said "1.8" when in reality it reads 18.2 Does this affect outcome in any way?

one channel on my amp is at 37, so I should fix it.. but I don't know what to do

If the Amp have Speaker Relay this dc offset problem protects the speaker from blowing?

You can't watt meter audio... Load has to be simulated for accurate readings

Thank you, quick question, if an amplifier burns your speaker, does that mean the crossover of the speaker is also burn? Or could it be only the speaker coil? (I burned my left klh 10.5 tower with a Fisher rs1080...) Thanks in advance!

I still don’t understand why there is a difference of 0 mv on one terminal and 18 mv on the other. Are they both supposed to be 0 mv?

I did these tests on my Sansui QRX-3500. The amp is in poor shape and needs to be fixed. It doesn't look like a fun fix.

Hi, can you find for me one this amp in a cheap price?

So you guys are most definitely dutch . So this can be adjusted (bias) correct.

May be in the cheap multimeter you connected the probs wrong way

He’s from Holland. Isn’t that weird?

Good God man come on, get on with it

Nidhi shelare Ej-4i

“blew up” 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

dutch?

A millivolt is 1 thousandth of 1 volt. Are you sure he is a "pro"?

Kwam ik net tegen: iemand heeft je intro gepikt!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJyVdseWzdOvlH0.html BTW: ik heb dat filmpje bij Google gemeld onder de noemer dierenmishandeling.

you must be iemand uit nederland

Okay i got bored. Next video.

I hate when they make long ass videos for a concept that can be explained in like 5 mins. Get to the fucking point.

First of all this guy talks too damn much like he loves hearing himself talk. For a video that was supposed to be no longer than 2 minutes this ends-up being 15 minute video. 2. when he's measuring the mV at 4:55 he says if the measurement indicates about 4 mV (can't understand if he says 4 or 40?!? anyone??) "you might want to put it a bit down" then he says "if it's around 8 (again, does he say 8 or 80) on it don't connect speakers because it will blow up the tweeters". He then proceeds measuring the other channel at 5:29 which indicates 18.5mV. He says "that one reads around 1.8" WTF?? The dot is clearly behind 8 which is 18 ?!? (confusing again). Did he have to remove one decimal due to how his meter displayed the result?? Even the author of the video says "the other one reads 18". Most probably indeed that reading is 1.8 but the technician should have explained why he read it that way. For a beginner that never used a meter in his life this is far from straight forward. I got a Sansui 881 from the 70's and the Aneng AN8008 multimeter bounces around the 60mV range when turned on. Recently I bought a Musical Fidelity B1 and wanted to know how to measure the outputs as it came with a pair of B&W DM110i that had blown off tweeters. I've put it on the multimeter and one channel measures 19.6 whereas the other one measures 30.7 on the mV setting.
