Technical data 

 
One  of  the  most  sophisticated  features  of  LinearAmp  is  its  Low  Pass  Filter.  This 
circuit  is  an  8-pole,  Bessel-type  filter  with  linear  phase  response.  This  special,  high 
quality  Low  Pass  Filter  is  necessary  to  realize  the  anti-aliasing  function,  which  is 
indispensable before the analogue to digital conversion. 
 
In the LinearAmp the High Pass Filter, the Low Pass Filter, and the Gain have got 8 
possible  positions.  The  actual  values,  realized  during  the  manufacturing  process  can 
be  ordered  with  the  default  parameters,  but  they  can  be  requested  with  special 
values,  to  meet  any  special  requirements,  as  well.  The  default  values  for  the  Filter 
and  Gain  sections  are  listed  below.  Any  combination  of  the  parameters  can  be 
selected; even the invalid settings (for instance, if the High Pass Filter is set to higher 
frequency,  than  the  Low  Pass  Filter).  The  invalid  settings  result  no  faults  in  the 
equipment, only the output voltage will be driven to zero.
