Krohn-Hite 3323

The Krohn-Hite 3323 is a digitally tuned, dual-channel variable filter delivering precision signal conditioning across 0.01 Hz to 99.9 kHz. Each isolated channel operates independently with selectable low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject configurations. Engineers configure cutoff frequencies via three decade switches and a six-position multiplier, achieving 24 dB/octave attenuation per channel or 48 dB/octave when cascaded. The instrument delivers maximum attenuation exceeding 80 dB to 100 kHz, with pass-band gains of 0 dB or 20 dB and output impedance of 50 ohms. ## Technical Specifications • **Channels:** 2 (isolated, independent power supplies and connectors)
