CA-30/870AR
Descriptions
The CA-30/870AR distribution amplifier is a high quality push-pull amplifier
producing signals with extremely low distortion and harmonic content.
The forward bandwidth makes possible 135-channel operation while the two-
way configuration allows the amplifier to be used in systems that
utilize remote signal sources on the return path.
