MODEL 261 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Frequency Response:
±0.25dB, 20Hz-20kHz at 44.1kHz
and 48kHz sampling rates;
±0.25dB, 20Hz-15kHz at 32kHz
sampling rate.
Noise:
Digital Mode: Better than 120dB
below the limiter output ceiling,
20Hz-20kHz.
Analog Mode: Better than 75dB be-
low the limiter output ceiling,
20Hz-20kHz.
Distortion:
<0.1% THD, 100Hz-20kHz.
Crosstalk:
Digital Mode: Better than 120dB
between channels.
Analog Mode: Better than 65dB be-
tween channels.
Program Line Inputs:
Digital: AES/EBU (XLR); accepts
16/24-bit audio at 32/44.1/ 48kHz
sampling rates.
Analog: Active-balanced/bridging
XLR inputs accept nominal pro-
gram line levels between
15dBu and +15dBu.
Program Line Outputs:
Digital: AES/EBU (XLR); syncs to
same rate of input program
when the digital input is se-
lected, or may be set to
32/44.1/48kHz output rate when
analog program inputs are used.
Analog: Active-balanced XLR out-
puts deliver nominal program
line levels between 10dBm and
+10dBm.
AGC Function:
Unobtrusive, peak-and-average-
weighted correction for long-term
input level variations; ±15dB cap-
ture range.
Compressor/Limiter:
The look-ahead design has pro-
gram-controlled attack and release
timing optimized for unobtrusive
operation. The average level com-
pression feature incorporates addi-
tional gain with a floating plat-
form separation between the two
functions.
Independent HF Limiter:
An independent pre-emphasis-
protection limiting function guards
against FM carrier overdeviation
due to the 50µs or 75µs transmis-
sion pre-emphasis curve. The lim-
iter output characteristic may be se-
lected either for flat response or a
pre-emphasized output when the
HF limiter is used.
Alarms:
Front-panel flashing display and
open-collector NPN transistor
tally outputs for:
§
Input overload
§
AGC out-of-limits
§
Loss of input ( dead air )
Power Requirements:
105 130VAC (0.250A fuse) or
210 255VAC (0.125A fuse),
50/60Hz; 15 watts.
Size and Weight:
1¾ H x 19 W x 8 D (1U);
8 lbs (shipping).
