MDA-16 & MDA-26 INTRODUCTION
The Model MDA-16 is a compact, one-in by six-
out audio buffer/DA, while the Model MDA-26 is
a two-in by six-out buffer/mixer/DA for more com-
plex applications. Each unit is housed in a 1U,
rackmount chassis and weighs just under 8.5
pounds.
Both the MDA-16 and MDA-26 Distribution Am-
plifiers are intended for use in mobile or fixed-in-
stallation applications in sound reinforcement,
broadcast or recording, and in other audio systems
requiring high-quality operation, flexible audio
routing, and adjustable level matching.
Its flexibility makes the MDA-26 ideally suited to
handle many different distribution applications.
For example, it can be configured to distribute one
stereo input to one stereo output plus four mono
sums of the stereo. Or it can just as easily function
as two distribution amplifiers, each with one input
and three outputs.
Input stages of both models are electronically bal-
anced and fitted with standard 3-pin, XLR-type
connectors. Front-panel gain trimmers enable the
installer to compensate for various input signal
• UL listed
• Input and output gain controls
• Electronically balanced, XLR-type inputs and outputs
• +24 dBu input signal levels
• +26 dBu output signal levels
• Built-in RF suppression
• Requires only 1U rack space
• Internal jumpers for setting various output configurations*
levels. RF suppression circuitry safeguards against
radio-frequency interference.
For enhanced flexibility on both units, each output
driver can be set for balanced or unbalanced opera-
tion using internal jumpers. Output gain is inde-
pendently adjustable over a
±
15 dB range, with a
+26 dBu maximum output level, and 20 Hz to 20
kHz overall frequency response, +0, -0.3 dB.
Both devices can also be supplied with optional
output transformers as the Model MDA-16T and
MDA-26T.
Designed to satisfy exacting professional standards,
the MDA-16 and MDA-26 offer excellent perfor-
mance in highly dependable packages. They are
capable of matching different signal levels to per-
form such common conversion tasks as interfacing
hi-fi equipment with professional audio systems.
Their impressive audio specifications are ideally
suited to recording and broadcast applications; yet
their rugged chassis, coupled with exceptional im-
munity to environmental stress, also make them an
ideal choice for demanding road work and com-
mercial installations.
