SparkFun THAT 1206 InGenius Breakout
The SparkFun THAT 1206 InGenius Breakout Board provides an easy way to add a balanced audio input to your circuits. Built on THAT's InGenius technology, it delivers low distortion and high common-mode rejection for professional-grade analog line receiving in real-world audio applications.
Each board combines the THAT 1206 IC, its supporting components, and a ¼" TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) socket — making it simple to use on breadboards and in projects. It pairs perfectly with the THAT 1646 OutSmarts Breakout, which performs the mirror-image conversion (unbalanced-to-balanced output).
