Graph 9 - FFT 10 kHz Tone at 22 dBu - Line Amplifier - Balanced to Balanced
This plot shows that the THD produced by the line amplifier is extremely low, even when delivering
a very high 22 dBu output. The 2nd and 3rd harmonics each measure better than -124 dB
(0.00006%)! This test shows that THD does not increase when reproducing high frequencies.
Notes:
• The scale on the left (dBr B) is dB relative to +22 dBu. This is the signal level required to
drive an external AHB2 power amplifier to full output power. It is also the level of the test
tone.
• Balanced inputs to balanced line outputs, volume control set at 0 dB.
• The 10 kHz fundamental has been removed using a notch filter. This filter increases the
resolution of the AP2722 test system.
