• Special Power Supply
Fully regulated power supplies ensure stable noise
free operation even though the power line varies.
• Gold Plated Connectors
The input and output connector contacts are gold
plated for superior corrosion resistance and high
electrical conductivity.
• Fiber Optic Front Panel Illumination
The even illumination of the front panel is ac-
complished by a combination of custom-designed
fiber optic light diffusers and extra long life Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
