The Videotek ADA-18F is a single-channel audio distribution amplifier module engineered for professional broadcast, recording studio, and live sound production environments. It accepts one balanced audio input and distributes the signal to eight balanced audio outputs while maintaining signal integrity and minimizing distortion. The module integrates directly into the Videotek Omniframe chassis—a modular platform accommodating up to ten assorted modules in 3 EIA rack units. Each module features a self-contained power supply, eliminating shared power infrastructure vulnerabilities. Output gain adjustment is provided on the module, and all modules are fully interchangeable within any Omniframe slot.
