Remarks

  • The first version of Pioneer's classic (and rare) Test Instrument. It integrated an oscilloscope with waveform/lissajous/FM multipath display options and combined that with dual (V/H or L/R) level meter. The SD-1000 isn't quite as versatile in quad-display/analysis features as the next version, SD-1100, but it's a classic design and a very useful (and attractive) test instrument.
  • The unit has a built-in frequency generator, for sweep and sine. 4 separately controllable inputs. You can display waveforms.
  • The level meters are in a Pre-Silver Aera color scheme of green/orange with a black fascia.
  • The SD-1000 is a stereo display device that can synthetically observe and measure acoustic properties such as various waves and also sound field property of a listening room.
  • A tuner with multipath output can be connected and antenna alignment can be optimized more easily.
  • Two large dimension level meters can be used for power and voltage measurement as well as VU level meter.
  • Input terminal for 4-channel is also prepared.
  • The instrument is also equipped with a wideband frequency amplifier for a mono microphone. In this way, the sensitivity, acoustic frequency response and characteristics of the speaker system can be checked with an electret condenser microphone. The Pioneer microphone was optionally available as type Pioneer CM-01.
