Accuphase M-60

Commentary

This monaural power amplifier was completed over a long period of time without any compromise with the aim of further improving the quality of reproduced music.

The use of a monaural power amplifier reduces interference between the left and right channels while keeping the weight and size within a range that can be handled by one person.

The circuit configuration is based on an active element with excellent high-frequency characteristics, and all amplification stages are composed of symmetric push-pull. By applying a small amount of NFB, excellent rise characteristics, linearity and stability are achieved.
This prevents the occurrence of TIM distortion and provides low distortion output even at full power.
In addition, in order to achieve sound quality with less coloration, the condenser inside the NFB loop has been removed to create a DC amplifier configuration.

A large transformer and a 22,000 μ Fx2 filter capacitor apply a high voltage to the power supply section obtain a large energy of 152 joules (120 joules for the P-300 type).
This greatly improves the low-frequency output characteristics.

The output meter uses a logarithmic compression type that can read directly from 3 mW to 300W continuously.
This meter can switch both peak indication and volume indication with a switch.

It is equipped with a subsonic filter to cut unwanted ultra-low frequency noise.

It is equipped with a 25-contact rotary switch that can adjust the volume by 1 dB step up to -20dB, and -23dB, -26dB, -30dB and - ∞.

It is a 19-inch standard rack-mount type with a canon input for use as a studio monitor or hall PA.

A separately sold forced-air cooling fan can be installed for setting in a place where heat radiation effect is extremely bad or for continuous use with large output for a long period of time.
