The R.L. Drake DMM 806 is a professional
quality agile television channel demodulator
that provides an audio and video output from
any VHF, UHF, or CATV channel
(54 - 806 MHz). The modular design of the
DMM 806 permits convenient pairing with a
Drake Mini-rack Video Modulator to perform
off-air or CATV channel processing.
The desired off-air VHF or UHF television
channel from 2 through 69 or CATV channel
from 2 through 125 is selected by a front
panel pushwheel switch and associated slide
switch. The DMM 806 provides a standard
negative sync video output at a nominal level
of 1 Vp-p, and an audio output signal that is
level adjustable from approximately 0.5 to
1.5 Vp-p with a front panel control.
As previously described, channel selection
switches and audio output level control are
located on the front panel. The RF Input is
through an “F” type connector located on the
rear panel. The rear panel Video Output is
also an “F” type connector. The Audio Output
is through a rear panel RCA type phono
connector. The unit is powered by a
compatible Drake Mini-rack power supply
module.

F2- Channel Number Switch
Sets the received channel number for off-air
TV channels 02 through 69 or for CATV
channels 02 through 125. See also Item F3
which sets the type of channel (Off-Air or
CATV) and sets the leading “1” for CATV
channels 100 through 125.
F3 - Mode Switch
Sets the type of channel, Off-Air or CATV.
The third position sets a leading “1” for
CATV channels from 100 through 125. See
also Item F2 for setting the channel number.

F4 - AUDIO Output Level Control
This screwdriver adjustment permits setting
the audio output level over a range of
approximately 0.5 to 1.5 Vp-p.
R1 - VIDEO OUTPUT Connector
This is the 75 Ohm baseband video output at
a fixed, nominal 1.0 Vp-p level.
R2 - AUDIO OUTPUT Connector
This is the unbalanced, audio output which is
adjustable with the front panel AUDIO control
over a range of approximately ± 10 dB from
the nominal output level of 300 mV rms.
NOTE: An internal jumper defeats the audio
de-emphasis for stereo capability, if required.
R3 - DC INPUT Connector
This 3-pin connector (Male) accepts the
appropriate mating DC power cable.
Observe proper orientation and wiring.
R4 - RF INPUT Connector
This is the 75 Ohm input to the demodulator
circuits from an off-air television receiving
antenna or from a CATV cable input.
CONNECTIONS and CONTROLS
All connections to and from the DMM 806 are
made through the rear panel. Figure 3
illustrates the use of the DMM 806 as an off-
air channel processor. For this purpose, the
feed from a television antenna is connected
via a 75 Ohm coaxial cable to the RF IN
connector of the DMM 806. The front panel
switches are set for “OFF-AIR” and the
received TV channel number is set for 02
through 69 as required. The VIDEO OUT
and AUDIO OUT signals are connected to
the VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN connectors
respectively of an adjacently located Video
Modulator, such as a Drake Mini-rack Video
Modulator, operating on the desired cable TV
channel. Alternatively, cable TV channels
can be processed by connecting the 75 Ohm
coaxial cable of a CATV feed to the DMM 806
RF IN connector and setting the front panel
switches for “CATV” or “CATV +100” and the
received cable channel number 02 through
125 as required. Additional channels can be
processed by adding combinations of
DMM 806 units with Drake Mini-rack Video
Modulator units.
RACK MOUNTING
Adequate ventilation is very important in
multi-channel installations. Units should be
spaced apart by at least one panel height
wherever possible, and some air movement
is advisable in enclosed rack cabinets.
Excessive heat will shorten component life
and system performance will be degraded
without proper cooling.
