8910ADA-M, -ST, -SR Analog
Audio Distribution Amplifier
Introduction
The 8910ADA modules are low cost, high-density analog audio distribu-
tion amplifiers (DAs) available in eight output monaural (-M) or four
output stereo (-ST) versions, and four stereo remote (-SR). All versions are
designed for use in the 8900 Audio frames that provide input and output
miniature screw-down audio connectors or in the GeckoFlex frame using
an 8900A-R rear module. Each channel of the stereo has its own gain and
threshold controls.
The monaural DA has eight balanced outputs and the stereo DA has four
balanced outputs for each channel. Onboard jumpers on the -M and -ST
modules provide stepped gain control in 6 dB increments while a front
edge onboard potentiometer provides fine adjustment.
The -SR version is stereo with remote control ability using the web browser
or Newton Control Panel or it can be used in Local control mode using front
edge paddle switches for setting overall gain and balance and two
hard-wired gain and balance potentiometers for fine adjustment.
The 8910ADA features:
•
Hot swappable modules,
•
Overall gain adjustment using the front edge paddle switches (plus fine
gain and balance adjustment ± 6 dB with hard-wired pots on the -SR)
•
Jumper selectable 6 dB gain steps from -12 dB to +30 dB on -M and -ST
modules,
•
AC coupled audio path reducing DC offsets at output,
•
Balanced low impedance outputs to drive bridging inputs,
•
Maximum differential output level +24 dBu (12.28 V RMS) for -M and
-ST modules, and
•
Maximum differential output level +28 dBu (19.47 V RMS) for
-SR modules.
