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.
