The high bandwidth and very low phase shift ensures excellent transient response. Mumetal can for magnetic shielding. Available with colour coded leads or international octal plug for a small extra charge. Replaces type 6864.
VOLTAGE RATIO 1:12.5
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) at 20 Hz (50 ohm source) Typical 0.05%
FREQUENCY RESPONSE 50 Ohm source 10K ohm load +/- 0.5 dB 5 Hz to 60 kHz
