Ward Beck 1x8 Stereo Audio Distribution Amplifier

POD8A - Overview

• Features:

  • Analog audio distribution amplifier
  • Provides sixteen adjustable output channels from 2 input channels
  • Can be configured to operate as MONO 1x16 where Input A goes to A and B Outputs or STEREO 1x8 where Input A goes to A Outputs and Input B goes to B Outputs
  • Can also operate in SUM mode where the mono sum of Input A and Input B goes to A and B Outputs
  • Mode selection is done via a 3-position slide switch on the front panel
  • Sixteen separate screwdriver adjustable potentiometers on the front panel allow the user to trim the levels of all output channels independently, and two additional adjustable potentiometers on the front panel allow trimming the inputs individually, which can be useful when in the summing mode
  • Input and output connections are made via screw terminals located on the rear panel
