The ST-GCA3 automatically provides gain to low level signals and attenuation to high levels. The adjustment rate […]
Proper power ON and OFF sequencing in a sound system will prevent annoying and sometimes damaging THUMPS and POPS by turning power amplifiers ON last and OFF first. Sequentially powering ON multiple electrical / electronic components will also help manage high inrush currents that can cause circuit breakers to trip and current-limited power supplies to […]
The ST-IC1 Intercom Amplifier is the building block for a variety of voice intercom applications ranging from Patient Monitoring in health care facilities to Entry Access communications in industrial, residential, educational and correctional facilities.
