There is only one real problem with this situation. The Low Gain Dual. The system was originally designed for a high input device and with a high output to feed two legs, possibly to other amplifiers. The Low Gain Dual is a Low input and Low output device. In order to provide the output level needed to serve the rest of the plant, a high input will be needed. This will increase the CTB by a 2 to 1 ratio and CSO by a 1 to 1 ratio. If you can afford the increase in distortion, then you have absolutely no problem.
However, since the Noise and Distortions for amplifiers and systems are calculated using CW carriers (worst case) and reality is that we use modulated carriers, I think there will be absolutely no effect if you are careful.
Call me if you want to talk specifics and we can calculate exactly what is needed. 727-847-7938

>What would be the differences, if any, picture quality etc. if you replaced an existing location that has an LE and a DC with a low gain dual amp? Let's assume all parts are SA. Thanks in advance for your facts and opinions.
