Output noise at max gain (19 dB), 0 dBFS = +20 dBu

Specifications:

Input impedance ≈ 12k ohms, balanced line-to-line, *

THD < 0.25%, +20 dBu, 20-20 kHz, unity gain, no compression, **

S/N = 80 dB re +4 dBu, 22 kHz BW, unity gain, ***

Crosstalk = -60 dB, 20kHz, +4 dBu, channel-to-channel

Frequency response = 20 - 20 kHz, ±0.5 dB

Maximum gain = 17 dB or 19 dB, ****

Output impedance < 300 ohms, balanced line-to-line

* INA2137 Internal resistors are ratio matched but have ±25% absolute value

** Will heavily depend on the tubes used

*** Should be better than 80 dB unless the tubes are very noisy

**** Will depend on the tubes used and plate resistor value used. 19 dB with 5.5k plate resistors, 17 dB with 4.99k plate resistors

If the output is connected to unbalanced input do NOT ground xlr pin 3. For unbalanced connections output XLR pin 3 should be left floating, this will result 6dB loss of output level.
