Equipment Description: Audio Generator

Label Write-up:
Heathkit audio signal generator was made for high fidelity applications. A service technician would use this to put a false signal into a piece of faulty equipment then use a signal tracer to probe the signal through the circuit. When the signal disappears or becomes distorted, that is probably the faulty component.

The model AG-9A is an improvement over earlier models. It is the first Heath audio generator to use switch selection of frequencies to allow for better precision. It provides quick and accurate selection of low-distortion signals through the audio range. Three rotary switches select two significant figures and a multiplier to determine the audio frequency. Incorporates step-type and a continuously variable output attenuator. Output indicated on a 4 1/2" panel meter displayed in volts and db.
