Stanford Research Systems SR560 Low-Noise Voltage Preamplifier (Pre-Owned)

Key Features At A Glance

  • Low-noise differential front-end: 4 nV/√Hz input noise at 1 kHz with 100 MΩ input impedance
  • Variable gain from 1 to 50,000 in a 1-2-5 sequence, with 0.5% vernier gain adjustment
  • DC to 1 MHz bandwidth; –3 dB at 1.2 MHz typical, ±0.3 dB flatness to 300 kHz (gains up to 1000)
  • Two configurable first-order RC filters: low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass; cutoffs 0.03 Hz to 1 MHz
  • AC- or DC-coupled, differential or single-ended inputs with fully floating BNC connections
  • Line or battery operation — three rechargeable lead-acid batteries provide up to 15 hours
  • RS-232 interface (9600 baud, receive-only) controls up to four units from one computer
  • Dual 600 Ω and 50 Ω outputs drive 10 Vpp; rear-panel ±12 VDC @ 200 mA bias supply

Datasheets

The Stanford Research Systems SR560 is a high-performance, low-noise voltage preamplifier built around a differential front-end. It is designed to recover small voltage signals from the noise floor across a wide range of measurement work, offering selectable gain, configurable signal filtering, and the choice of line or battery operation in a single bench instrument.

The SR560 is suited to a wide range of applications, including low-temperature measurements, optical detection, and audio engineering. Its combination of low input noise, broad gain range, and front-panel signal filtering lets an engineer condition a weak signal before it reaches the downstream instrument in any of these measurement contexts.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units leave factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer.

Product Core & Specifications

Specification Value
Input
Inputs AC or DC coupled, single-ended or differential
Input impedance 100 MΩ + 25 pF
Maximum input 3 Vpp
CMRR 100 dB from DC to 1 kHz (100 mV common mode input at 1 kHz, gain of 100, low noise mode. Decreases by 6 dB/octave from 1 kHz to 1 MHz)
Noise 4 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz
Gain 1 to 50,000 in 1-2-5 sequence. Vernier gain in 0.5 % steps
Gain stability 200 ppm/°C
Bandwidth –3 dB at 1.2 MHz (typ.)
Flatness ±0.3 dB to 300 kHz (gains up to 1000)
Filters
Signal filters 2 configurable (low-pass or high-pass) 6 dB/oct rolloff filters. –3 dB points are settable in a 1-3-10 sequence from 0.03 Hz to 1 MHz.
Gain allocation High Dynamic Reserve — Gain is increased after the signal filters to prevent overloading. Low Noise — Gain is increased before the filters to improve noise figure.
Output
Maximum output 10 Vpp into 50 Ω and 600 Ω
Filter reset Long time constant filters may be reset with front-panel button.
DC drift 5 µV/°C referred to input (DC coupled)
Distortion 0.01 % at 1 kHz
Rear panel ±12 VDC @ 200 mA referenced to amplifier ground
General
External gating TTL input sets gain to zero
Interfaces RS-232, 9600 baud, receive only
Power 100/120/220/240 VAC, 6 W charged, 30 W while charging. Internal batteries provide 15 hours of operation between charges. Batteries are charged while connected to the line.
Dimensions 8.3" × 3.5" × 13.0" (WHD)
Weight 15 lbs. (batteries installed)
Warranty One year parts and labor on defects in materials and workmanship
Important: Maximum input: 3 Vpp.
Usage tip: the SR560 accepts the O560RMS single and O560RMD double rack-mount kits for rack installation, and the O560SB spare battery set (three batteries).
