AC MAINS

Input Power: 22VA, 115 VAC
   
Operating Range: 108-122/216-244 VAC, 50/60 Hz

INPUTS

Analog:

Nominal input level (APL):
-24 dBu, minimum

Impedance:
600 Ohms as shipped, balanced
30K (internal option), balanced

Connectors:
XL-3 Female

Level matching: Log peak of Input (L-R)
Log peak of Output (L-R)
   
Wideband AGC: Operating gain over range of
+10 to —10 dB
   
Adaptive pre-emphasis (HFL): High frequency gain (15kHz)
From 0dB to approx —17 dB
   
Messages: HFL not enabled

ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE
Frequency Response

Digital input to Analog or digital output: +/-0.5dB, 30Hz-14kHz
   
Analog input to Analog or Digital output: +/-0.5dB, 50Hz-14kHz
   
Analog input high-pass filter: -3dB at 30 z/18dB/oct
(The HPF can be bypassed)

Notes: The unit incorporates a 15.7kHz notch filter and BTSC system alias protection LPF. These filters are always present in both the analog and digital input paths

The same tolerance is met when the HFL is engaged along with the fixed output de-emphasis option, with control off. With control on, the input level must be reduced below the HFL theshhold, in which case the tolerance is also met.

With HFL engaged and no output de-emphasis, the 75usec pre-emphasis is accurate to a smaller tolerance (typically +/-0.2 dB), with control off or at level below HFL threshold.

(THD+noise): Either input to Digital output at -1dBFS <0.1%, 30Hz-14kHz
Either input to Analog output at +10dBu <0.1%, 30Hz-14kHz

Crosstalk: Analog inputs to either outputs >50dB, <10kHz
Digital inputs to either outputs >55dB, <10kHz

Output noise: Either inputs to Digital out -83dBFS
Either inputs to Analog out -72dBu
