The differential front panel output of the 132 has an output impedance of about 5k per side.
The differential front panel output of the 132 has an output impedance of about 5 kΩ per side.
The gain and bandwidth of the entire system (plug-in + 132 + load) depend on the load impedance.
The gain and bandwidth of the entire system (plug-in + 132 + load) depend on the load impedance.
For exact gain, the 132 needs to be terminated with an exact impedance.
For exact gain, the 132 needs to be terminated with an exact impedance.
A load impedance of 50 ohms maximizes bandwidth and further reductions of load impedance
A load impedance of 50 Ω maximizes bandwidth and further reductions of load impedance
only reduce the available output swing.  A load impedance of 50k maximizes gain and further
only reduce the available output swing.  A load impedance of 50 kΩ maximizes gain and further
increases in load impedance have little effect on system performance.
