INTRODUCTION

The Niles AVDA-3 is a source-level audio and base-band video distribution amplifier. It  
incorporates an audio input (right and left) and a video input, which are actively distrib-  
uted to three audio/video outputs. It is especially useful when connecting an audio/video  
source component to multiple zone amplifiers and/or RF modulators.
