Connections and circuit (ideal SPICE model)
Drawn live from its RTO-144 connections: run the generator, turn the gain, watch the VU. Open the netlist to see how the model is built.
Pinout & connections
Each contact as its own documents name it: 16 named (15 high, 1 low confidence). An empty slot is a contact no page names. Hover a contact for its source; the table under the drawing lists them.
