DesCriPtion

The Extron DA AV EQ Series are high performance distribution amplifiers designed to split and extend composite video and audio signals over long cable runs while maintaining the quality and strength of a signal source.

The DA AV EQ Series includes six distribution amplifiers for composite video and audio signals.

With 150 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded, five models feature gain adjustments to allow for compensation of signal level loss that occurs over long cable runs, while the EQ adjustments compensates for high frequency loss. All video models are compatible with NTSC,

PAL, and SECAM video signals, and allow for cable runs of 600 feet (180 meters) to 1,000 feet (300 meters) or more, depending on the quality of the coax cable. Each video model also includes input loop-through capabilities, which enables users to add more amplifiers and create a larger DA system or drive a local monitor.

Composite Video Only Models

All video inputs and outputs are on female BNC connectors.

Composite Video and Stereo Audio Models

All video inputs and outputs are on female BNC connectors. The DA 3AV RCA and

DA 6AV RCA EQ accept and distribute unbalanced stereo audio on RCA jacks, while the

DA 6AV EQ features balanced/unbalanced stereo audio inputs and outputs on captive screw connectors.

Housed in durable and compact half-rack metal enclosures, the DA AV EQ Series is designed for easy integration into both new and existing A/V systems including boardrooms, training facilities, home theater, command and control centers, and rental and staging environments.
