DESCRIPTION

The ALTEC LANSING 1698 amplified monitor panel permits monitoring of seven channels, at either line level or loudspeaker level. Part of ALTEC LANSING's new generation of sound products, it continues the tradition of reliability and ruggedness in an attractive package.

The ALTEC LANSING 1698 has an amplifier section with an input isolation transformer and an input impedance of 10,000 ohms, allowing a line-bridging impedance high enough not to disturb the line being monitored. The amplifier features an integrated circuit and a 2-watt amplifier output section plus a regulated power supply. This amplifier uses only 6 watts of line power and the power transformer will accept 120 Vac as well as 240 Vac. Line power changes are made by strapping. The 1698 can also be used with a 24-volt battery; silent and automatic transfer from ac to dc source occurs if ac line power fails. The 1698 is 3 rack units high, 51/4 inches deep, and uses an ALTEC LANSING high quality loudspeaker.
