With balanced operation, the common mode rejection of the 

preamp reflects the intrinsic common mode rejection of the 

topology, the matching of the gain devices, and the matching of 

the attenuator channels.  In this case we have been able to keep 

the total mismatch to about .1%, for a common mode rejection of 

approximately  -60 dB.

The input system of the preamplifier will exhibit full common 

mode noise rejection with passive balanced sources, where the 

negative input is connected to ground at the source through 

the appropriate source impedance.  This allows adaptation of 

unbalanced sources to balanced operation with passive cable 

connections in a manner that achieves the noise rejection of active 

balanced sources.

The use of a micro-controller allows all of the preamplifier functions 

to be repeatable and accurately controlled.  The micro processor 

only controls the functions of the preamplifier.  At no time does 

any of the input or output signal come into contact with the digital 

control signals.  The digital circuits are powered by a power supply 

that is isolated from the analog supply.  Should it ever be necessary 

to update the software that controls the functioning of the preamp 

only the socketed micro processor need be changed.  

Muting relays, which delay connection during turn-on and shut 

off the output when insufficient power supply is available to 

maintain regulation, guard the output of the preamplifier and offer 

protection to the power-amplifier and loudspeakers.
