Filter Amplifier
Filter amplifiers with 8, 16, 32, 48, and 64 input channels are available under the name FA-4-X, FA-8-X, FA-16-X, FA-32-X, FA-48-X, and FA-64-X, respectively, where X stands for the input type (S or I).
Amplifiers can be ordered with any gain and bandwidth configurations by the user's choice. The name specifies the configuration. The first number after the input type specifies the gain, followed by the
lowest frequency, and followed by the highest frequency.For example, FA-16-I-5000-300-3000 stands for a filter amplifier with 16 channels, input type I, gain of 5000, and 300 Hz to 3 kHz bandwidth.
