Install resistors in positions B and F, or positions D and G, depending on the channel you
are using on the SCB-68A. Use the following equation to calculate the gain of the circuit:
where R
B or D
is the resistance of the resistor in position B or D, and R
F or G
is the resistance
of the resistor in position F or G.
