| Equivalent Input Noise | -126 dBu (-128 dBV) maximum (150 ohm source, flat weighting, 22 - 22 kHz bandwidth, gain control set at 50% or higher, phantom power off) |
| Output Clipping Level (Line) | +22 dBu minimum with 100k ohm load, +20 dBu minimum with 600 ohm load |
| Dynamic Range | 110 dB minimum |
| THD + Noise | 0.05% maximum (from 60 Hz to 22 kHz @ +4 dBu output level, 22 Hz - 22 kHz filter bandwidth, gain control at 50%, phantom off) |
| Inputs | Transformer-balanced, 2k ohm input impedance |
| Outputs (XLR) | s/n < 0507 - impedance-balanced, 120 ohm output impedance, s/n >0507 - active-balanced, 120 ohm output impedance |
| Outputs (Tape) | Unbalanced, tip-left, ring-right, sleeve-ground, 2.4k ohm output impedance |
| Power (Internal) | 2 AA alkaline batteries, 6 hours life typical with +4 dBu signal into 600 ohms, no phantom power |
| Power LED | Green indicates power and good battery. Red indicates power and low battery. LED turns red when approximately 1 hour of battery life remain (with phantom power off). Green with external DC power. |
| Frequency Response | 20 Hz - 30 kHz, +0.1, -0.5 dB; -1 dB at 5 Hz & 50 kHz (relative to 1 kHz with 150 ohm source, gain controls set at 50%) |
| Input Clipping Level | -10 dBu minimum |
| Output Clipping Level (Tape) | +11 dBu (2.75 V RMS) minimum with 100k ohm load |
| Common Mode Rejection Ratio | 100 dB minimum at 80 Hz, 60 dB minimum at 10 kHz |
| Channel Separation | Greater than 80 dB at 1 kHz (gain controls set to 50%) |
| High-Pass Filters | 80 Hz or 160 Hz (switch selectable), 6 dB per octave |
| Phantom Power | 48 V through 6.8k resistors or 15 V through 680 ohm resistors (switch selectable) |
| Limiter | Thresholds adjustable per channel from -10 dBu to +17 dBu, 10:1 limiting ratio, 5 mS attack time, 100 mS release time, Amber/Red LED indicates limiting/clipping, Dual mono or stereo linked |
| Internal Voltage Rails | ±15 V, regulated |
| Polarity | All inputs to all outputs, non-inverting. Pin-2 of XLRs "hot" to unbalanced inputs and outputs. |
| Metering | Seven segment GaN (Gallium Nitride) LED meter with three intensities, peak responding |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0 to 70 degrees C, 32 to 160 degrees F |
| Dimensions | 43 mm x 94 mm x 140 mm (h x w x d), (1.7" x 3.7" x 5.5") |
