1311-A
The General Radio 1311-A Audio Oscillator was introduced in Catalog R (1963) and remained available through Catalog 1978.
The General Radio 1311-A Audio Oscillator is a transistorized Wien-bridge audio oscillator with transformer output. The switched output frequencies correspond to commonly used bridge generator frequencies. A delta frequency control is available on the front panel to fine-tune the frequency. Although designed as a bridge oscillator, the 1311-A is also well suited for audio testing, given its low hum and distortion levels. As a bridge oscillator, it is part of the 1660-A Inductance and 1620-A Capacitance Measurement Systems.
Specifications
- Frequency Range: 11 fixed frequencies – 50, 60, 100, 120, 200, 400, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000 Hz selected by rotary switch. A vernier provides a ±2% adjustment about nominal.
- Power Output: 1 W into matched load. (Taps provide at least 0.5 W output into any resistive load between 80 mΩ and 8 kΩ).
- Output Voltage: Continuously adjustable from 0 to 1, 3, 10, 30, or 100 V, open circuit.
- Output Current: Continuously adjustable from 0 to 40, 130, 400, 1300, 4000 mA, short circuit (approx).
