Connections and circuit (ideal SPICE model)
Inputs, outputs, power and control as its own documents name them (no RTO-144 sheet for it: pin numbers only where the page gives them). Run the generator, turn the gain, watch the VU.
Pinout & connections
Each contact as its own documents name it: 8 named (5 high, 3 medium confidence). An empty slot is a contact no page names. Hover a contact for its source; the table under the drawing lists them.

MLSOB PROGRAM/SUMMING AMPL IFIER The MLSOB is direct replacement for the M4so dual purpose Program/ Summing Amplifier_ When used 29 suMm ing amplifier , the balanced inpul signal is appl ied via external summing resistors t0 pins and 5 . In the program amplifier riode, the input signal is applied [0 pins and of the edge connector and proceeds via R1 and R2 to the pre= amplifiers, thus presenting an input impedance of approximately Sk ohms t0 the source The input connects t0 [Wo preamplifiers, one consisting of 01 through 03, the other 04 through 08 From the output 0f the upper inverting amplifier the signal proceeds [0 the input of the lower amplifier via R1O, RII and C6_ Rio Serves as differential control t0 equalize any smal| gain differences between the Lwo amplifier sections, resulting in optimum common mode rejection. When used as summing amplifier, the M4SOB is normally operating at unity gain, whereas in the program amplifier mode the gain may be adjusted anywhere between 24 and 40 dB Al gain changes are achieved by external resistance strapping On pins 9 , 10 and 11 on the module connector, affecting the feedback loop within the lower preamplifier. C10 couples the oulput of the preamplifier La the output section . 22, 013, 014, 015 and 016 represen t the lower half of the output amplifier. 12 dB/octave low-pass filter consisting of R22 , R23, R24 , ci, C13 and C14 imits the bandwidth beyond the audiu passband One half of the output signal is derived frorn the lower half of the output amplifier and is brought out Lo pin 13 via C24, L2 and R56 . The input signal ior the second output amplifier half is routed via R35 to pin of 21 , followed by 09 through 012. C23 LI and R55 couple the output of this Part of the amplifier to pin 12 The actively balanced output 0f the unit, appearing at Pins 12 and 13, is capable of del i vering Watt into 600 ohm load. 2-1
