Resources and Going Further
Now that you've successfully got your THAT 1206 and 1646 up and running, it's time to incorporate them into your own project!
Resources
For more information about the THAT InGenius and OutSmarts ICs, please refer to the datasheets and application notes below.
- THAT 1646 Datasheet
- THAT 1206 Datasheet
- Bill Whitlock's AES paper introducing the THAT 1200 family.
Going Further
For more information about balanced audio and sound system design, please refer to the following materials.
- Bill Whitlock is one of the leading experts on the subject of designing balanced audio interfaces. He has written many papers on the subject, including:
- Douglas Self's Small Signal Audio Design book is a great guide to audio circuitry in general.
- Norman Crowhurst's book of Audio Measurements explains how to quantify audio parameters such as frequency response, CMRR, and distortion.
- Discussion of the pin 1 problem
- Rane Application Note 110 is a very useful resource discussing the connection of balanced and unbalanced audio gear. Their App Note Library contains a number of other useful resources.
