Benchmark Media -- DA-101 Mono PowerDA
As the original System 1000 module, the DA-101 remains
one of the most versatile amplifiers available to the audio
professional. Although the DA-101 is a mono DA, it has two inputs
and a signal routing switch, allowing selection of either input 1 or 2,
or a mix of both. The DA-101 delivers an incredibly low
(0.00044%) THD at 2 kHz. It features 15-turn gain pots, front panel
test points, and 13 segment LED meters plus LEDs for power indication.
Use it as a 10 output mono DA (up to 100 outputs with build out panel),
as a 40 watt mono monitor amplifier, or as a time code DA without
crosstalk to other modules. Plug on accessory daughterboards, such as
the RGC-06 remote gain control, add significant versatility to the DA.
