Applications

 

The 

AMP2-SDA/AVU

 and 

AMP2-SDA/APP

 are ideally suited for use in VTR bays, mobile production vehicles, teleconferencing

installations, multimedia systems, satellite links and cable TV facilities, and on-air radio studios.  Designed and manufactured in the U.S.,
both models are backed by a strong warranty and a satisfaction guaranteed return policy.

Units are designed to meet, at time of manufacture, all currently applicable product safety and EMC requirements, such as those of
CE. 0 dbV ref. 0.775V RMS. Features and specifications subject to improvement without notice.
