The PDA101 is a true constant current
induction loop amplifier and is designed
to cover up to an absolute maximum of
50m² (7.07m x 7.07m).
A gain of 52 dB is applied to the
microphone signal and a gain of 0dB to
the line input. The signals are mixed
using the front panel controls and then
fed into the compander. This ensures
that very low level or high level sources
can be used without pre-amplification or
attenuation. The compander maintains
the output level within a 45dB window.
