Re: STS frequency range

2001-04-23 by John Papiewski

Well, a few of the catalog entries mention module specs but as a whole
Rex doesn't really blow his horn on this one... it would be interesting
to put a Serge on a pile of high end audio test gear.

Rex did mention that he was able to drive an NTO with a 30 vdc control
voltage to > 1mhz... waveforms were pretty distorted at that range.

His choice of silver solder, silver mica cap's and other examples of
audio overkill would lead me to believe that most of the modules would
have very good bandwidth.

The filters of course would have some kind of bandwidth limit.

Rolls-Royce used to have a policy of not publishing engine
horsepower/torque specs on their car engines... instead saying that it
was adequate. It seems like Rex is saying his specs are adequate also.
