THAT InGenius and OutSmarts Breakout Hookup Guide
Byron J. Introduction
The THAT 1206 and 1646 breakout boards offer an easy solution to adding balanced audio inputs and outputs to your circuits.
The THAT InGenius and OutSmarts technologies are designed for high grade analog audio transmission and reception. They offer low distortion and high common mode rejection in real-world audio applications.
The breakout boards combine the THAT IC, supporting components, and a 1/4" TRS socket. They make it easy to use the input and output drivers on breadboards and in projects.

Tools
For the breadboard exercises, we used the following tools and test equipment.
- A signal generator.
- A biploar power supply. We used two different supplies.
- For bench testing, we're using an old HP 6205c adjustable supply.
- We also used a MeanWell +/-15V supply.
- An oscilloscope to observe the results
