Description:
The AWN-3 is an encapsulated filter module offering A, B and C weighting networks to Type 0 precision. The AWN-3 is designed for use in OEM applications where a plug-in acoustic weighting network is required.

The device offers simultaneous A, B and C weighted outputs with a ± 2.5V signal range that is suitable for most modern instrumentation. Power requirement is a dual, low current ± 3.5V to ± 15V supply. On board regulation and reverse voltage protection are provided.

For stand alone and experimental applications, a development board is available for the AWN-3 module providing convenient power supply and signal connections.
