    Additional 20x gain on the headstage improves signal-to-noise of low voltage signals. Impedance Checking with the Low-Impedance Headstage The Impedance checker on the RA4LI provides a simple check of the channel impedance relative to ground. To check the impedance level, press the button next to the channel indicator.

    ± 2.5 V. PZ2 and RA16PA preamplifiers supply ± 1.5V. Third party preamplifiers may vary. TDT recommends using preamplifiers which deliver ± 2.5 V or less. The table below lists the input voltage ranges for the RA4LI headstage for either ± 1.5 V or ± 2.5 V power sources. Power Source Headstage Input Range ±...
