Description:

Each channel has a very low noise front end op-amp, a 10Hz or 20 Hz (Note 1) 8 pole lowpass filter, 50 or 20  second 1 pole highpass filter, and an output op-amp that can drive up to 100 feet of coax cable and a 600 ohm load. 


Frequency Response Plot:

The plot below shows the frequency response of the PSN-ADC-EQAMP with the standard Lehman and Geophone lowpass and highpass filter configurations.

Power Supply Requirements:

Input / Output Connectors:

The input and output connector for each channel can be one of the following. Please specify when ordering. 

If the board is placed in the option plastic box you will need to use either the .156 Molex or terminal block screw input connector option. There is not enough room in the box to use the RCA jack and mating plug.
