Beskrivelse
Announcing the new, fully re-envisioned PLEX KNOCK MONITOR® V3, a professional hi-fidelity knock detection tool for the data-driven tuner. The new version comes with fully re-designed electronics, hardware and UI and brings a whole new level to the process of identifying and analyzing detonation on any IC engine. A set of new features and algorithms powered by a multi-core main processor with dedicated audio DSP allows one to pinpoint knocking on a cylinder level like never before.
Availability: limited-stock |

Building on the success of its predecessor and utilising a new future proof, high-performance electronics platform the new PLEX KNOCK MONITOR® V3 was designed from scratch with the aim of providing the most advanced and reliable knock detection possible. Our trusted customers have played a pivotal role in feeding us with usage insights and requirements that we have integrated into the development process.
