General description (2)

Description — 174 words · 19xx - M166A - wbsps - promo - m166a summing module - front.jpg, page 1

The M166A is a plug-in, PC card, module containing a active summing amplifier designed to combine a number of input sources to a common output while ma intaining extremely high isolation between the input circuits. In addition, the module permits the summing of all inputs in the balanced mode and without loss of signal level: FEATURES: Balanced configuration utilizing operational amplifiers 30 input summing capability to output Dual differential operational amplifiers produce a balanced input via solid tantalum capacitors.

Balanced IC amplifiers process the signal at the output +24dBm output capability is provided in order to realize maximum signal headroom throughout the system: Operating mode determined by con- ditional strapping on frame receptacle The M166A Active Summing Module is designed primarily for use within WBS audio console systems but will operate efficiently in any balanced system where multiple signal sources are required to be assigned in random or cumulative configuration to an output or mixer buss.

Greater than 9OdB isolation between inputs 20Hz to 20kHz Less than 25%THD at +24dBm output Exceptionally low noise
