GENERAL
ANA-TOOL F8xx in its different appearances is
a eight-channel unit (four-channel on request)
for gain make-up, impedance matching, balan-
cing and unbalancing of general audio signal
sources. It is the link between unbalanced
consumer oriented units and balanced studio
equipment.
For the connection of consumer technique,
gold plated cinch sockets are provided not only
on the back panel, but also on the front.
Professional studio gear is connected via
balanced inputs and outputs. These appear as
gold plated XLR typ connectors.
All output levels may be conveniently adjusted
by front accessible multiturn trimpots
The balanced outputs can drive 600 ohm
loads.
As an option, the balanced inputs and outputs
may be equipped with transformers on request.
THE CASE
The grounded case is made of 1 -2 mm thick
stainless steel. This provides high mechanical
stability and resistance against rough handling.
The cases surfaces are not treated with any
material, so providing excellent electrical con-
ductances for optimum EMC characteristics.
THE POWER SUPPLY
Mains is connected via a built-in IEC-CEE
mains socket. If necessary, mains voltage can
be internally altered from 230 to 115 V.
The "POWER"-switch is situated on the front
panel. Power status is displayed by a LED
situated below the power switch.
An oversized toroidal transformer delivers the
internal supply voltages. They are stabilized by
linear voltage regulators to +/- 18 V to
guarantee maximum signal headroom.
THE MAINS FUSE
The 0,25 AT fuse is internally soldered in place
on the power supply PCB.
ATTENTION !!
FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
A blown fuse may refer to internal problems
and should only been replaced during qualified
servicing works !!
