P R O D U C T D E S C R I P T I O N
momentary, 5 million operation, for all front panel switches
LED, no incandescent lamps to burn out
conductive plastic for highest possible resolution and life, 30,000 cycles
conductive plastic for highest possible resolution and life, 15,000 cycles
single motherboard
one IC is surface mounted, all of the rest are socketed for ease of service
true VU ballistics
electronic switching with CMOS ICs for ultra high performance and reliability (no switches to clean)
for the ultimate in audio performance, audio is passed through the linear and rotary faders
NE5532
SSM2019, high performance IC with 1.5dB noise figure and .01% THD at gain = 100
48VDC, with optional external power supply
advanced CMOS logic for high noise immunity
logic level output, Muted = +12VDC, Not-muted = ground, 50mA max current
Requires a custom, relay isolated, interface circuit to drive an on air light
On & Off switches: momentary, SPST, dry contact closure.
Tally LED: logic level, requires a driver transistor or IC driver
logic level output, On = +12VDC, Off = ground, 20mA max current
Requires a custom interface for the specific source device
refer to the ARC-15 manual for typical circuit schematics
