1 General
The DA-AA is a dual 4 output analogue Audio Distributor. The DA-AA can be configured as
either a dual 1x4 or a single 1x8 amplifier. The latter configuration is made by connecting the
inputs in parallel or using DIP switch on PCB. The Distribution amplifier has differential inputs
and differential outputs. Overall gain can be set by DIP switches or by potentiometer for high
precision gain setting. The gain range setting is from -12 to +12 dB. The input signal can be
mixed to the other channel using a DIP switch. The Distribution Amplifier handles analogue
audio signals from 20Hz to 80 kHz. The DA-AA is designed for all audio distribution purposes
in studio, duplication and Broadcast applications.
