Input Connections

CAUTION

: The inputs to the Iso-DAM8A and the headstage can be damaged 

by electrostatic discharge. We recommend that you momentarily touch the 

Iso-DAM8A chassis or any grounded metal object before connecting wire or 

electrodes to the inputs.

It is very important to minimize input lead length, and use of shielded cable is 

recommended for any leads over 2 or 3 inches (except grounding leads). Both the 

inverting and non-inverting inputs must be connected. A “floating” (non-connected) 

input will cause amplifier saturation.

Fig. 7—A typical single-ended configuration is shown here.

The Iso-DAM8A inputs can be connected in either differential or single-ended 

modes. Differential connection can reduce noise pickup, and is usually preferable to 

single-ended. 

Fig. 7

 shows a typical single-ended configuration. The optional remote 

headstage is shown in these examples. 
The two inputs on the headstage are electrically identical, except that positive-going 

signals applied to the RED non-inverting input produce a positive-going output from 

the Iso-DAM8A, whereas a positive-going signal applied to the BLACK inverting input 

produces a negative-going output. The same holds true for the non-inverting “+” input 

and inverting “–” input on the INPUT connector. Reversing the connections from that 

shown simply results in an inverted signal.
