Noise

Equivalent Input Noise: -129 dBV (low-impedance microphone, 150 Ohms, 300 to 20,000 Hz) into 600 ohm load at full gain

Equivalent Input Hum and Noise: -127 dBV (low-impedance micro- phone, 150 Ohms, 20 to 20,000 Hz) into 600 ohm load at full gain

Output Noise: -90 dBV maximum (output control full counterclockwise [off]), -65 dBV maximum (output control full clockwise [on]) (input control down, 300 to 20,000 Hz)

Output Hum and Noise: -75 dBV maximum (output control down), - 65 dBV max. (output control up, input control down, 20 to 20,000 Hz)

Distortion

0.4% THD, 30 to 20,000 Hz at +15 dBm output; 0.5% or less IM distor- tion at +15 dBm output

Common Mode Rejection

65 dB minimum with input of - 20 dBV at 100 Hz

Control Interaction

Less than 1 dB with any control combination

Overload and Shorting Protection

Shorting outputs, even for prolonged periods, willcause no damage; mi- crophone input will not be damaged by signals up to 3V

Phase

All outputs in phase with input. Pin 2 is “high” with respect to pin 3; pin 1 is ground. Tips of link input and output phone jacks are in phase with pin 2 of XLR connectors.

Phantom Power

30 VDC nominal, 3.3k series resistance, automatically disabled with in- put switch in Line position

AC Operation: 120 or 240 VAC ± 10% (internally selectable), 50/60 Hz, 5.5W

DC Operation: 27 VDC nominal at 16 mA typical no- signal, 22 mA typ- ical at 0 VU (+4 dBm) output; 21.5 VDC minimum; battery life approxi- mately 20 hours with alkaline batteries at +4 dBm output in continuous use; three 9 volt batteries, type NEDA 1604A (Duracell MN1604 or Eveready 522 recommended)

Temperature Range

CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS

On⋅Off Switch: applies power to the FP16A circuitry

Power LED: Indicates unit is on.

Input Gain Screwdriver Control: adjusts input signal level.

Output 1-6Screwdriver Control: adjusts individual output channel signal levels.

Norm LED: indicates when internal signal level is approxi- mately 25 dB below clipping.

Overload LED: indicates when internal signal level ap- proaches clipping.

Three-Pin XLR 1-6 Output Connectors: provide for connec- tion to either low-impedance microphone or line level inputs of power amplifiers, mixers, or other signal processing equipment.

Mic/Line 1-6Slide Switches: select microphone or line level output signal levels.

Phantom On-OffSlide Switch: applies 27 VDC (nominal) phantom power to pins 2 and 3 of the input connector for use with condenser microphones. IMPORTANT: Make cer- tain any condenser microphone used is compatible with the FP16A phantom circuit, and that the FP16A input Mic/Line switch is in the Mic position. Do not turn the Phantom switch

on when using unbalanced low-impedance microphones; objectionable hum will result. Turn the Phantom switch off when phantom power is not required.

Three-Socket XLR Input connector: provides for connection to microphone or line level input signal sources.

Input Mic/Line Slide Switch: selects microphone or line-lev- el input signals.

Link In, Out Phone Jacks: provide for connecting more dis- tribution amplifiers for additional outputs, or adding external equipment such as equalizers, compressors, or limiters.

When connecting two or more FP16As together for addition- al outputs, connect the Link Out jack of the "master" unit to the Link In jacks of the others. Any number of FP16As can be tied together in this way. The Link In jack is input-only, and has switching contacts to disconnect the input signal amplifier from the output channel volume controls.

Connect an equalizer, limiter or compressor to the FP16A by connecting the FP16A Link Out jack to the external unit's in- put, and the external unit's output to the FP16A Link In jack.

Signals at the Link jacks are typically 10 dB below line level. The Link In input impedance is greater than 20 kΩ and may be considered a bridging impedance.
