546-C
The General Radio 546-C Audio-Frequency Microvolter was introduced in Catalog L (1948) and remained available through Catalog T (1968).
The Type 546-C is a audio frequency voltage divider and attenuator operating at 600 Ω. Its an updated version of the earlier 546-B with improvements to the meter and the adoption of audio standard 600 Ω impedance. The primary application of the 546-C is to supply audio frequency voltages at attenuated and calibrated levels but can also be used to measure unknow voltages by "Substitution" and "Insert-Voltage" methods. Any audio oscillator that can supply 2.2 V into 600 Ω will be sufficient to drive the Mirovolter.
