Sorry guys but I just gotta jump in here.... I'm no EE but the term 'wide tolerance' to me means 'large potential variance from design spec'. 'Dynamic range' means 'large ratio of sound power between noise floor and largest clean signal system can make' - usually expressed in dB.

I had spoken to Serge about this in the early 80's. The Frequency Shifter (FRS) has a three space printed circuit board (PCB). On some panels, where a PCB had one less panel space than the front panel, and that module was next to the FRS, the FRS board could be shifted to take up
