Jinx CA3100 isn't a must. I can use others. so no problem about the outputs, I want to distribute to 20 or so TV monitors and I was under the assumption that this component can deliver only to 3 outputs. if I can make it deliver more than 3 outputs it's better for me.

The signal from the junction of the 4k7 and 2k5 level control should be able to be taken to a few more op amps. However, the CA3100 does not have a particularly high input impedance (and is also obsolete unfortunately, but there are others around - the Philips NE592 is an 8-pin cheapie) and you should be able to compensate for that with other amplification stages The circuit you refer to has already split the signal 3 ways, could you not just repeat it for further fan out ? Degradation will probably become apparent the more removed the output becomes from the input though -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
