2.1.3 Audio Circuits
All of the audio signal conditioning (e.g. limiting, filtering, and pre-emphasis) is performed by the
MT-3 Audio Processor. The transmitter board routes the audio lines from the backplane connector
to the audio processor and then to the synthesizer. The audio lines routed to the audio processor
are: two subtone inputs (backplane pins B22 and Z24), a direct modulation input (pin Z28), a
squelched/flat audio input (pin Z20), a 600 ohm balanced input (pins B18 and Z18), and an audio
control line (pin Z22). The audio processor's balanced input pins are isolated from pins B18 and
