I personally like the Ivie IE-30 but I don't have one of my own (yet). My RTA is made by AudioControl Industrial and it's fine except I wish that the "fast" display is too fast and the "slow" display is very, very slow. The IE-30 is smaller than my current RTA and it also has a small db display on the side whereas you have to switch to a separate display mode on the AudioControl RTA.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-22-2003 10:07 PM                     I have extensively used both Ivie analyzers. Beware that both tend to be somewhat fragile and sometimes temperamental. I own a PC-40...which is now considered a dinosaur in the computer world, but with occasional retightning of all the internal screws it has kept chugging along nicely. I prefer to use it for doing "A" chains as it has just the right decay time on the LCD display for making scanner adjustments. It also has a built in printer and does RT-60 calculations. I have in the past used the IE-30 quite extensively and it too was somewhat temperamental and some LED's sometimes did not work making for erronus readings and fooling you. My preference is still the THX R-2 analyzer but it has not been available for a few years now. Its actually alot more durable than any other analyzer I've owned even though there are alot of pieces to it. Its also given me BY FAR the best results when doing "B" chains. I've also used the R-2 to tune modern, large, horn loaded systems which wedre previously tuned with either the IVIE or by ear, and many felt the end results were far superior to the before sound of the horn systems. I also owned a Klark Teknik for a couple of years but it was no where near as nice as either the IVIE's or THX R-2. Ivie's factory is not far from where I live, but since the founder sold the company off it is just barely a thread of what it once was and now specializes in automation systems.
