*The wi deband distortion
figures appear to suggest that 3rd-harmonic
distortion
is dominant.
Thus, an un weighted T.H.D. ( Total
Harmonic Distortion)
figure would be similar to the 3rd -harmonic value. Howe ver, the specific breakdown of distortion
is more
informati
ve.
3rd-harmonic
distortion
in the 160 Series decreases linearly as the frequency rises:
at
100Hz 3rd-harmonic
distortion
is
1
/2 the value at 50Hz, etc
.
**Attack
and release rates automatically
vary with rate of change of program level (attack
and
release rates "track"
the signal envelope).
Specifications are
subj ect
to change without
notice.
