Appendix C – Alpha-Link Model Numbers

Alpha-Link is available in a variety of configurations. The following table correlates the major differences between the

different models with the unit part numbers to aid identification of units:

1. This is the SSL Part number for ordering and unit returns

2. This is the number found on the rear of the unit, adjacent to the unit Serial Number

3. Nominal maximum analogue I/O level for 0dB FS
