RMAA Testing

RMAA Testing
RMAA has become a staple in audio reviews and while the results reflect our attempt to be as accurate as possible your test results may vary based on many variables. In past reviews we would use a loop-back test to provide the results however, many times this can provide incorrect results as the ADC on the given card influences the results and if the cards playback section surpasses the recording section the results will be limited and will not show the accurate abilities of the card. To get the most accurate results, the Forte was connected to a recording card with an ADC which can properly illustrate what the card has to offer.
Below are the test results from this setup.

Frequency Response
This graph shows the output characteristics of the Auzentech Forte 7.1. The more linear the graphed line is the more transparent and neutral the cards audio output is. Variances in the graph would produce color in that particular frequency range producing output higher or lower than the remaining frequencies. The Auzentech Forte 7.1 has a very linear frequency response across the test set.

Noise Level
The above graph shows the level of noise present in the cards output signal. There will always be some level of noise present in a audio device but in many cases the level is so low that it is not audible to the human ear. The Forte 7.1 produced excellent noise measurements across the test set.

Dynamic Range
This graph shows the card's operating range and the graphs illustrate the lowest and highest range the card is capable of producing accurately. The Auzentech Forte shows an excellent dynamic range across all the tested ranges.
