From the project

A test fixture for the QuantAsylum QA403 for measuring impedance with optional attenuation before the analyser inputs to support high power testing

A test fixture for the QuantAsylum QA403 for measuring impedance based on Matt's blog posts: https://quantasylum.com/blogs/news/speaker-impedance-measurements https://quantasylum.com/blogs/news/measuring-input-impedance

This is version two of the text fixture and adds optional attenuation before the inputs to the analyser optional current sense resistor if you just want to use the board for connectivity.
