1x3 Distribution Amplifier
Owner’s Manual
Description
The AtlasIED TSD-DA13 1x3 distribution amplifier is designed to provide clean, isolated signal distribution locally or to remote locations. The unit allows a balanced mic or line level source to be distributed to three isolated variable outputs making it a perfect solution for applications including convention centers, houses of worship, restaurants/sports bars and industrial facilities.
A high quality, low noise mic pre-amp, defeatable 12dB low cut filter @ 125Hz and dual summing RCA line level inputs are included as part of the unit’s input section. These features combined with the 3 mic / line level outputs allow for multiple configuration.
Isolation between outputs prevents crosstalk, removes miss matched input impedance concerns and allows for adjustable levels on each connected device.
All I/O (except the summing RCA inputs) is via Phoenix style connectors for installation convenience.
The TSD-DA13 is highly efficient and meets Energy Star™ standards as one 24V DC power supply
(available separately) can power multiple Atlas Time Saving Devices.
The TSD-DA13 is part of a full line of AtlasIED Time Saving Devices. These compact
(1.5" x 4" x 2.75") units are designed to solve some of the common audio system problems in the easiest and in the most efficient and cost-effective way. All models are made from high quality components and include removable individual I/O connectors for quick and precise wiring, separate ground terminals for all I/Os assuring secured connections, and removable level controls that can be replaced with tamper-proof security covers.

1. Input Level Control - Adjusts the gain of the source audio signal that is applied to the DA13
circuitry. Turn clockwise to increase the signal level and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
Note: The Input Level Control knob can be removed and replaced with a supplied security cover to
prevent unauthorized adjustment.
2. Output Level Controls - Adjust the level of each of the three outputs using these controls. Turn
clockwise to increase the signal level and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Note: The output level
control knobs can be removed and replaced with supplied security covers to prevent unauthorized
adjustment.
3. Power LED - Illuminates BLUE when 24VDC power is present.
4. Input Peak LED - Illuminates Red when the input signal reaches 3dBV below when signal clipping
will occur. Occasional flashing is normal but if this indicator is continuously On, then reduce the
input level using the input level control on the front panel.
5. Signal LED - Illuminates Green when the input signal strength reaches 25mV to verify a signal
path.

TSD Input/Output connections are removable for easy system wiring. The connector has a 3.5mm pitch between pins.
1. DC Power Input - Each TSD that requires DC power comes with a 2 position connector for
an external 24VDC power supply (sold separately). Because of the TSD’s low power consumption,
a single external power supply may power more than one TSD. Please refer to the specifications
on current requirements in milliamps to match with the appropriate power supply. Note: It is
acceptable to exceed the current requirements of the TSDs but NOT safe to use a power supply
that is below the current requirement of the device.
2. Mic/Line Input - Balanced Line level or balanced mic level signals are connected to this input.
Your source connects to a balanced line or mic level source. Your connection must be mated
properly to the input connector or signal loss and/or noise may occur. For gain or source input type
selection, refer to the “Dip Switch Function Identification” chart for proper input setting.
Note: Unbalanced line level inputs can be inserted with proper wire configuration by connecting
the (G) and (-) terminals together.
3. Mic/Line Output - Balanced Line level signals provide output when an input signal is present
for connection to balanced mic or line level devices. Your output connections must be connected
properly to the connectors or loss and/or noise may be introduced into the signal.
Note: Unbalanced line level devices can be used with proper wire configuration by connecting the
(G) and (-) terminals together.
4. RCA Input - Unbalanced audio signals applied to these female RCA connectors are electronically
summed and fed to the three outputs. It is NOT recommended to use the unbalanced RCA inputs
and the balanced input at the same time.
5. Cable Management Retainer Points - Each TSD includes two cable retainer straps for securing
the included cable management retainers. Remove one of the rear panel screws, align the
panel hole with a retainer and firmly tighten the screws.

Knob and Security Cover
All front panel level controls feature a removable knob that can be replaced with an included security cover. Follow these steps to prevent potentiometer damage or unwanted changes.
1. Knob Installation - Turn the potentiometer shaft fully counter-clockwise. Align the knob indicator
to the lowest setting on the panel and the potentiometer shaft slot. Carefully press the knob onto
the potentiometer shaft. Do not force or damage may occur to the potentiometer.
2. Security Cover Installation - Remove the knob from the panel and insert the cover. Small pliers may
be required to remove the knobs. Align the security cover to the level control panel hole. Push the
cover into the hole until it snaps into place. Do not force or damage may occur to the potentiometer.

Mounting
Listed below are the ways to mount the TSD and the optional accessories that can be purchased.
1. Velcro™ - Each unit includes two 2" x 2" pieces of industrial-grade Velcro™ with adhesive backing
to adhere to any flat surface. Clean all surfaces before applying the adhesive side of the Velcro™.
2. Multi Mount Plate - Each TSD includes a versatile multi-position mounting plate. This plate
allows the TSD to be mounted to any surface; but is ideal for use with rear rack rails or side rack
hat channels. Use the included M3 x 4mm screws to install the plate on the TSD. Note: Only use
the included M3 x 4mm screws as other screws may be too long and will cause internal damage
to the TSD. The multi-position mounting plate is a new addition being included with TSDs. If the
TSD being used did not include the mounting plate, contact AtlasIED customer service at
1-800-876-3333.
