ALTEC
1780A AND 1780AT
MIC/LINE INPUT MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The ALTEC LANSING 1780A and 1780AT Mic/Line
input modules combine basic microphone
preamplification with true line level input capabili-
ty. Each module has a built-in resistive pad to per-
mit levels in excess of +10 dBm and their high
input impedance easily allows sixteen modules
to be driven from a single low impedance source.
In addition, both modules have a 300 Hz high pass
filter, phantom power capability, L + R stereo
SPECIFICATIONS
(Reference 0 dBu = 0.775 v rms)
Gain: 0 dB - 50 dB, continuously variable
Input Sensitivity:

bandwidth, 30 kHz low pass filter)
1780A <0.01°/o
1780AT < 0.025%
summing, and from 0 to 50 dB of continuously
variable gain. They are 100% compatible with all
WOO-series mainframes and accept any one of the
1790~series connectors. The A'ilversion includes a
10 kn input bridging transformer for those who
prefer transformer isolation. Unlike the 1781A,
neither has muting (priority or slave), remote
volume control capability, or continuously-variable
high and low cut filters.
