Available Output Modules:

  1. OUT 1: RCA Standard Output Module
    • Description: A standard RCA output module featuring both fixed and variable outputs. The variable output is suitable for external headphone amplifiers or direct recording to tape or PC. In contrast, the fixed output is intended to connect to high-level inputs of a pre-integrated amplifier.
    • Specifications:
      • Output Voltage: Fixed: 2 V; Variable: 0 – 2 V
      • Output Resistance: 250 Ohm
      • Signal-to-Noise Ratio: -120 dB (regulated output)
  2. OUT 2: RCA Direct Drive Output Module
    • Description: A tube output module that enables direct control of asymmetrical power amplifiers via the variable output. The fixed output is intended to connect to high-level inputs.
    • Specifications:
      • Output Voltage: Fixed: 0.5 – 1 V; Variable: 0 – 7 V
      • Output Resistance: Fixed: 250 Ohm; Variable: 320 Ohm
      • Signal-to-Noise Ratio: -100 dB (high gain); -110 dB (low gain)
      • Frequency Response: 10 Hz – 200 kHz / -0.5 dB
      • Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.001% at 2 V / 1 kHz
  3. OUT 3: XLR Direct Drive Output Module
    • Description: A tube output module designed to control symmetrical power amplifiers directly via the variable output. The fixed output is intended to connect to high-level inputs.
    • Specifications:
      • Output Voltage: Fixed: 0.5 – 1 V; Variable: 0 – 14 V
      • Output Resistance: Fixed: 250 Ohm; Variable: 320 Ohm
      • Signal-to-Noise Ratio: -100 dB (high gain); -110 dB (low gain)
