THD+N at max volume (volume = 56) – typical, 0.0008% FS, maximum 0.0013% FS 
Test conditions: 20Hz – 20KHz, -3dBFS sine wave, 22-22KHz BW 
At all possible settings and switch combinations. 
 
Dynamic Range: -110dB typical, -109 dB minimum 
Test conditions: Non weighted 
At all possible settings and switch combinations. 
 
Drive Capability: 
24dBu Balanced XLR output into 1K ohms at Volume = 56 or lower 
21dBu Balanced XLR output into 600 ohms at Volume = 53 or lower 
18dBu Unbalanced XLR output into 600 ohms at Volume = 56 or lower 
18dBu Headphone into 100 ohms at Volume = 56 or lower * 
18dBu Headphone into 50 ohms at Volume = 50 or lower * 
 
* PLEASE NOTE: Do not use “earbuds” or any other type of headphones designed for use with 
portable battery-powered devices such as an MP3 player. The DA10 is not designed to work with 
this type of headphone. The headphone output is capable of much higher levels than a battery-
powered device in order to properly drive typical HiFi headphones. Damage may occur to the 
portable device headphones if they are connected with the DA10 Volume control set to a higher 
setting. 
 
Volume Control Precision: 
Integral linearity (deviation from straight line) – better than 0.1dB 
Differential linearity (step size) – better than 0.08dB 
 
AC Power: 
Voltage 90-264 VAC, Frequency 40-63Hz, Current 0.1A 
Fuse Rating 2.5A “Time Delay” * 
*Subject to change! Please always check the rating on the fuse and the one printed next to the 
fuse holder on the power supply PC board before replacement. Replace the fuse ONLY with a 
fuse of the same rating. If you have any questions, contact: 

techsupport@lavryengineering.com

 

 
Please Note: The DA10 automatically adjusts to AC power inputs in the range of 90 to 264 Volts 
AC and line frequencies between 47 and 63 Hertz. There are no settings to change. 

 

Weight and Dimensions: 
8” wide x 1.75” high x 10.75” deep (with space for front panel switches and rear panel 
connectors), < 5lbs. (shipping weight 6 lbs)
