Hi,

What distortion could I expect using REW’s sine wave generator?
I have a laptop with a low budget built-in soundcard and a Steinberg UR242 external soundcard.
I now use a Velleman function generator, but it’s distortion (THD) is above 0.1%, spoiling my measurements.

Regards, Gerrit

There is no distortion in the generator (unless you select the option to add some), the limiting factor is the audio interface you use for playback. The UR242 spec states line output THD+N 0.005 % at 1 kHz, -1 dBFS, with a 22 Hz - 22 kHz BPF.

Hi John,
That looks very promising. I will try this A.S.A.P.!
