THE VIBRATION GENERATOR
The Vibration Generator gives mechanical oscillations when fed by signals from a Power Signal Generator. The frequency response encompasses the whole of the audio spectrum and beyond.

The power signal generator is a versatile device, enclosed in our Spacesaver case. It can produce a wide range of signals, from 0.1Hz to 110kHz, with an output power of up to 5W. There are low and high impedance outputs, with the low impedance protected by a time delay fuse. The unit features an internal speaker that can be turned on and off, and can be used to demonstrate the range of human hearing (from 20Hz up to 20kHz).
Frequency control is via a 6 position decade dial and a large continuous dial which controls a multiplier from x1 to x11. There are also dials to control amplitude from 0V to 5V, and attenuation on the high impedance output. Buttons control the shape of the function (sine, triangle, square and TTL), turn the internal speaker on or off, select the modulation mode, and switch between auxiliary or internal signal.
There are inputs for signal modulation by an external signal, which can be a.m. or f.m., for exploring different types of radio signals, and an auxiliary input for amplification of an external signal instead of the internal function generator, such as from a microphone or music player.
This instrument is ideal for powering large speakers, and is necessary for driving the vibration generator to explore vibrations and waves.
