SQ301
Commentary

A pre-main amplifier developed as a successor to SQ77T.

As for the power transistor, B170008 manufactured by BENDIX Co. in the US, same as SQ77T is used.
The driver stage uses silicon transistors manufactured by RCA in the United States.

A quasi complimentary service SEPP-OTL circuit is used for the circuit system.

The Phono2 terminal has an input impedance switching function.

Equipped with a damping factor switching function, the damping factor can be switched to 3 levels.

It is equipped with a protection circuit using SCR that operates when the speaker terminal and the cord are short-circuited.

Equipped with a filter circuit for the 3D system, you can enjoy the 3D system by adding a power amplifier for low band and a filter for low band.

A socket for step-up transformer is provided on the rear, and 6400 series step-up transformer can be used.
6422S is recommended as the standard.
