SPECIAL
NOTE:
The
use of
in-line
device
s
is
not
recommended
with
phantom
(simplex)
powered
condenser
microphone
systems.
A15A, A15PR and A15PA are
symmetrical
and can be used in
either
direct
ion.
A15A MICROPHONE ATTENUATOR (Yellow Nameplate) Prevents
input
overload. Ideal
in
applications where very strong signals are applied to
a microphone input, as
in
feeding high level vocal or instrumental signals
into microphone mixers, consoles or recorde
rs.
The Model A15A has
an
insertion loss of 15
db
and
an
input
and output impedance of 150 ohms.
It is symmetrical, so it can be used in either
dire
ction.
A15LA LINE
INPUT
ADAPTER (Blue Nameplate) Converts balanced low
impedance microphone
input
to
line
le
ve
l input. Provides a
simple
means
of using existing microphone level inputs for hi
gh
level signals. It has a
balanced bri
dging
input (100,000 ohms). Attenuation is 50 db.
A15HP HIGH
PASS FILTER (Gray Nameplat
e)
Pr
ovides a low-frequency
cut-off to reduce all types of unwanted low-frequency mechanical noises,
such
as
boom, stand, or floor rumble; or electrical hum; or environmental
sounds such
as
crowd noise, wind sounds, air
conditioner
rumble. Can
also
be
used as
an
equalizer to create s
pe
cial effects. Slope is
12
db
per
octave, down 3
db
at 100 Hz with 150 ohm load. One kHz loss is 0.5
db
ma
xi
mum.
A15LP
LOW PASS FILTER (Green Nameplate) Provides
high-frequency
cut-ott to reduce effects of objectionable
hi
gh-frequency noises. Usef
ul
for suppressing sibilance. Excellent for minimizing
difficult
"hiss,"
jin-
gling,
cr
inkling, whistling sounds. Can also be used as
an
equalizer to
create special effect
s.
Slope is 12
db
per octave, down 4
db
at 8 kHz
with
150 ohm load. One kHz loss is approximately 0.5 db.
A15PA PRESENCE ADAPTER
(Orange Nameplate) Adds controlled vocal
or instrumental
"
presence"
in
re
co
rd
ing and broadcast applications.
Adds extra brilliance to sound systems.
Improves voice range intelligi-
bility. Provides a moderate response rise of 4
db
in the 3 to 5 kHz region.
Lo
ss
at 500
Hz
is
6
db
with 150
oh
m output load. It is symmetrica
l,
so it
can
be
used
in
either direction.
A15RS RESPONSE SHAPER (Black Nameplate) Provides excellent
sibi-
lance filtering in broadcasting and recording applications. It may also
be
used to flatten response
in
microphones which exhibit a rising charac-
teristic
in
the 6 kHz region. It provides a 4
db
dip
in
response
in
the
6 k
Hz
region. One kHz loss
is
approximately 2
db
(150 ohm output load).
A15PR
PHASE REVERSER (Red Nameplate) Reverses the phase of a
ba
lanced line without modification
of
the equipment. It is symmetrical
and can be used in either direction.
A15BT
BRIDGING TRANSFORMER (Br
ow
n Nameplate) Balanced unit
that matches balanced or unbalanced devices
of
different impedances.
(33
K ohm primary, and 600 or 7,500 ohm secondary.)
A15TG
TONE GENERATOR (Whi
te
Na
meplate) Produces a continuous
700
Hz
Sig
n
al
capable of driving low impedance balanced lines, and is
extremely useful in setting up and trouble-shooting audio equipment.
Plugs into microphone input to enable engineer
to
check
levels,
connec-
tions,
mi
xe
r inputs, cables, and speakers. Permits one man to do the work
of two. Powered by a miniature mercury battery.

(25-50 ohms or 150-250 ohms) lines to high impedance, or
vice versa, such
as
connecting
a low impedance mi
