General Description — 285 words · 1975 - M450 - vint P4.jpg, page 1
M450 PROGRAM/ SUMMING AMPLIFIER The M450 is dua] purpose, high performance audio amp] ifier desi gned to function either as program amp]ifier or summ ng ampl ifier. It offers optimum flexibility combined with maximum utilization of avai lable space. The unit consists of in printed heat sink, R ufand _ circuit card equipped with integral le, and shield cover. The design uses high rel iabilitY, state-of-the-art components to achieve the qua ty desirable in professiona] audio systems.
The unique active ly ba lanced input and output circuitry Permits the design of totally balanced systems without the use of transformers and the attendant distortion introduced at high output leve I s by such components. The Iow impedance presented at the amp ] i fier output terminals Permits the use of resistive splitt ing networks wi th max imum isolation between ou tput Tines_ The output capability of the amp i fier extends to watt into 600 ohm Ioad.
When used as amp] i fier, the gain of the M45o may be from Zpregrao adjusted to 40 dB by use of an externa] trim potentiometer or resistor. When used as summ ing amp Tifier, the M45O will combine up to 60 input sources into a common output_ Interaction be tween inputs i s practically non-existent due to the extremely high isolation be tween inputs.
In the summing mode, the gain of the M450 is uni ty: As used in Ward-Beck Systems in this mode, s igna] headroom of 40 dB is achieved. The M450 Program/ Summing Amp]i fier is designed primarily for use within WBS audio console systems but it will operate efficiently in any ba lanced system requiring the application of pProgram or summing amplifier.
