I don't know why these spectrum analysers are not in stereo or AVRs anymore. They made the system looks so beautiful when playing. My dad had a Kenwood and I could sit and watch the light and analyser all the time when my dad was listening to music, and they were so beautiful to watch. 😂😂😂

Great video Big D. Good to see variety related to car audio. I was inspired to build my bench top power supply by your video a while back. This thing is cool, now I just need to find a way to use it so I can buy one.

Love these. My dad back in the early 80's had one for his home audio racks. Used to watch the lights for hours. Make me want to install it in my truck .👍🏻

Thank you for another outstanding video!!! I so miss the EQ analyzers from the 80s and this is freaking cool I love it I am definitely going to purchase one or two appreciate the videos very much brother.

That's very cool thanks for sharing! I can think of a lot of ways this could be installed or used. It has a lot of possibilities.

There is just something so cool and satisfying by being able to see what you're listening to, like watching a sub with good excursion oscillate. I had (still have packed away) a Kenwood KMD-D400 in dash minidisc changer that I kept installed long after I was no longer using minidisc just for it's (nearly) full screen Spectrum analyzer. Love this gadget for that price.

Big D I ordered one and it came in today. Cool as hell. Reminds me of the old school Alpine 3339

Love this channel!! I had that same Sony head unit with the slide out cassette deck and Sony XE-90 EQ back in late 89 early 90. Ah the memories. Thanks big D!!!

I used to have the cassette version of that Sony stereo in my Saab. I loved the amber/green switching of the display. I wish i still had it...

That's awesome! I use to have a Kenwood double din where the second unit was a 7 band display and loved it. The only reason I bought my Panasonic and Awai Decks were the spectrum analyzer. If only I could find a way to make it look factory in my car.

Thanks for the test vid, Big D, was looking at their AS256 model for my new build. Pretty damn sure I'ma get it now...

Very cool with that old school look. Nice to see something new and different. Keep on expanding the content!

Thankyou so much for posting this. I just bought three for my cars stereo systems. I’ve been looking a long time for something like this.

I hadn't been able to find a din sized one. Now I have! This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

That's way cool BigD!! I think I might actually use one of these in my build. Thank you for that. 👍

Whoa! This is awesome. Reminds of the first time I saw the Clarion 900SEQ or the Sony XE-700!!! Thanks for the link, ordered!

Wow!!! One of the best things I’ve seen on UKposts!! I love it!! Ordering now 👌, thanks mate!

That looks pretty sweet, thanks Derrick!

It's beautiful... I have a visual spectrum with equalizer for my Optimus stereo and it's amazing.

Thanks for the video! I saw this on eBay, but wasn't sure how big it actually was, or if I could use it as a display for my home audio, or if it had to be installed "IN" something, or if it had to be soldered, or plugged in, but you just answered all of those questions! Very helpful!

Yes!!! So cool to have those old skool visuals with new school equipment. There are only so many stereos with spectrum analyzers so this definitely has a place. Kind of hard finding the older EQs with a spectrum analyzer and hard to justify buying one when stereos have the same capabilities inside now.

Sony cd player model CDX-R77 i had one back in the day!! WOW i love this channel it brings back alot of good memories!! Back when bass was@ its peak! Everyday you would here prob 3 or 4 systems. Now your lucky to hear one once a week!! Good times👍

Channel just gets better and better..... Keep it up big D!

Love this!!!! I am getting one, for sure.

Awesome, always loved to see my music and I totally agree with you, the first display is the best. Ordering one right now.

I'm definitely getting this! Thanks man!

I had been craving some spectrum toy in the practice sessions and had not happened on this gem until your review. Cheers, mate. Just bought one.

Awesome video, thanks for shaking it up!

Reveived mine 2 days ago...i love it!!!. Need to make a case for it...

Old school spectrum analyzer FTW! Looks like it would take a bit of work to custom mount in a car setup. Nice find!

That's awesome, need one for my old school build

Yea boy I've seen this a few times wanted to buy one but m excited to get one

SO cool! I never knew there were DIN size units like this available. I used to stare at the spectrum analyzer in my Aiwa bookshelf stereo back in the 90s during certain songs. Had a Sony head unit in the early 2000s that had a configurable display that thing was cool too, but there is no substitute for a VF display. This is going on the Amazon wish list stat. Thanks big D another great production

Wow, I want one. Also that Sony CDX-R77 brings back a lot of great memories.

ok I'm buying one, this is so cool

sweet, a display of this display in use was what I was looking for

Thank you sir I been looking for something like this for my car. Thanks!

Great been dying for this.. Nothing better for display musical than this.. Thanks

Reminds me of my old Alpine 3342 , cool stuff man ! Keep up the sweet vids man !!

My home eq has one on it which I’m a big fan of these been having one since early 80s

Hey Williston Audio Labs Thank you for the video and info. I was on the fence about these but thanks to your video I am now going to buy 1 or 2 of these this weekend, waiting a month for delivery sucks but these are worth it. Thank you again

I had a 1996 regular cab Dodge Dakota Sport with the short bed. I put 4 Kicker 15s in the bed ported through to the cab with an RV weather boot. We took the cup holders out and put in a Kenwood KGC-7043 single din graphic eq and I loved it! It not only gave HUGE adjustments to the sound but there was a knob on the front of it that had gain controls for my Subs and my high range amps which offered endless setups for your music!! I loved it and wished I never had to sell that damn truck......

Thanks been looking for one.

Love all your videos! Anything you post is good! But for your question, I like videos where you show off products! Keep them coming! Much love from the Bay Area ca

Thank you so much I been searching for these Thank you so much

Got mine today - what a cool toy! Thanks!

Damn, I have to get one. Really like the old school vacuum fluorescent display, they just look great!

Big D!!! Thank you so much for your video!! I’m a little late to the party, but better late than never. I just ordered one of these, has a CDX-C900 to the pioneer DEQ-9200 many years ago, miss it, lol Was it difficult to install this in a 12v car audio application? Going to try and run it through a Clarion EQ5746 in an old-school 1965 Chevy Impala, where the heater controls went. Thank you for any help sir, thanks again for all of your videos.

This is one item I don't understand we are lacking with newer equipment more capable more precise and lights and displays wayy cheaper today yet they leave things like this out today. That is a really nice analyizer. Reminds me of the one that was on my 1990 JVC premiere shelf system when auto tape scan / rewind and flip took off. The vacuum lit display reminds me of my mini arcade stand up Boxing game from early early 80's.

Thanks BigDWiz thats is one nice piece of eye candy, im going to order one and mount it in my dash or console thanks man!!!

So many possibilities! If you have too strong of a signal you could wire a potentiometer in series to limit the overall signal voltage. That would prevent overdriving the signal and just getting one or more of the bands maxed out. And I wonder how it would hold up to the scorching heat of inside a vehicle in the middle of the summer with the windows up? I also like the green filter idea I seen on a previous comment. Do the website quote any of the band frequencies?

I loved equalizers on radios as a kid. made music fun to listen to and watch. and they behave similar to how fountain water does, bouncing up and down and alternating in height.

Cool. Thanks for the video. I have been looking at these lately and almost pulled the trigger, but held off because it only goes down to 32Hz. Ill probably still get one though, it would look much better than the plastic pocket in my dash that my hand can't fit into to get stuff out of. :)

Yes i did enjoy the video. Thank you.

Awesome find Big D. 👍

Sweet i luv it!!!!

what a great find. Thanks Big D

I always loved those vacuum fluorescent displays. Really cool tech behind them.

OMG ..you saved my life ..lol I was looking at old school EQ's... just for the dancing lights (Alpine H701) and I thought the display was too blue and would make it look like I had two identical head units in the car , it would just look wrong..IMO..this is dope. Excellent review ..BTW

back in the day I had 2 displays on my AKAI EA-M719 equaliser, but the displays were pretty small, would love a full size unit with two of these, shame no-one makes stuff like this anymore

Had an 'ol DEQ-7600 Pioneer DSP that had this display function. It was such a sweet EQ, only drawbacks were tons of hiss and was too dim. Surprisingly, they are hundreds of dollars more expensive now than before when I bought it for $200 new...now $500+

appreciate every thing you do!!!👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌❤cool vid😎

Yeah that's cool now I need one

damn im definitely putting one in one of my diy boomboxes! that shits dope

Hell yeah you should hook it up to your amp dyno just so we can see

Awesome Big D!... I would like to see some type of small amplifier and a microphone to Aid in actual car audio tuning!

right angle plugs would of been handy for car install. Thanks for the link to tha manual.😁😁😁😁

Awesome video man that's pretty cool I like it display on that I look good in my car

I had a nice pioneer eq back in the day that had a spectrum analyzer built in you mounted you your car

Cool factor 11, a lot of possibilities. Could be badass, a couple in a custom amp rack.

The good old rectum spanilyzer! That dot matrix display would go well with my truck's dash.

Yes! No need to haunt for that super expensive alpine spectrum equalizer!

I like this!! I need one for 25 to 32 MHZ too

I just got ond... I freaking love it Not sure why I didnt get one before

Sweet! Thats so damn cool. Easy add on bling :)

This will go great with my old school Mazda b2200 mini truck. Great vid!

I just ordered one, getting it in 3 days. I saved your link, it was helpful, cant wait to get it, I am hooking it to my home stereo, it will go on top of my equalizer, since the one in it is not accurate.

i dig the hell out of that.im redoing my old truck to make the inside look more modern and i could implicate this into my dash,and a volt meter,and maybe a clock all in a cool color

Got one coming! i was looking at the old school spectrum analyzers on eBay and damn they're expensive. I'm thinking I can flush mount one just above my head unit. Im sure ill figure something out. Thanks Big D!

For what it is it’s pretty awesome. I messed with vfds a while back and they were expensive as heck. Btw BigD. I fix that hifonics amp you smoked a while back ? Hear back from Sonic electronics ?

My old CTA1505 Alpine had a miniature design of this back in the day.

Great Video as always :)

Damn...! Now I have to order a couple of these😀😀😀

I would have loved this about 25 years ago!

not bad! thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'd likely never noticed it. it has some great features. GPS clock ? maybe? I can think of all kind of places to put this thing! thanks again!

THANKS

Omg I missed my Kenwood 9044, had it mounted under my Kenwood Mask radio similar to how you stacked the Sony. Old School Never Dies!!!

Nice for a custom install!!!

I actually seen these on flea bay awhile back but figured there was no connections on it and that I would have to figure out how to wire it up to something. interesting piece tho, thanks dude

That's tight Gotta get it.

A project I have drawn out and components priced and all that but haven't actually built it yet.... the Wall sized 8 ft tall by 12 feet wide huge spectrum analyzer. With super resolution better than the resolution for a recording studio mix console meter bridge. Minimum 50 segments using large square style LED's or even somehow with fiber optic light emitting from the glass / plastic fiber style single LED engine light emitting fibers which I found fiber as large as 14mm diameter. Channel the fiber tubes through your base board backing that would mount to the wall, have the fiber come up a hole and over the board and down in a hole like sewing. This way would be the most complicated and pricey build so my thoughts are simple with just the larger button sized square LED's or even push buttons round or square and just 50 segments for 50 levels of one band in the bandwidth / spectrum of the audio and double or triple that same segment if it's not meeting up with the larger scale trying to achieve. I think it would be bad ass to have a full wall sized spectrum analyzer. One that is also truly just as accurate or actually more than twice as accurate as these single din ones. For me with BIG SOUND I also like BIG DISPLAY that is not just stagnant but moving to the music as well and if it's a wall sized meter bridge that's something serious for those who produce and mix as well. Would make awesome for all the live competitions and even stage backdrops for performers / acts. Slap it on the side of a van like those vans and trucks that haul panes of glass. Mount that huge spectrum analyzer VU meter to anything once built and provide the power and audio signal.

i bought one of these a while ago.GREAT TOOL! cheap hardwired RTA on a budget

Very cool! I am actually going to buy one. Enjoy this kind of video something different!

Great video Brother 👍

Back in the day I had a pyramid 7 band preamp eq with spectrum analyzer

This reminds me of my old ADC graphic equalizer w/display lol

Merry Christmas From The Cooper's Cleburne, Texas

you just told a ton of these guys....but i might stuff one in my build some where. the solder points dont look too hard to figure out

Thank you.
