Commentary
This monaural power amplifier achieves enhanced power while pursuing higher quality than ML-2L.
The power supply section has a fully ± independent power supply configuration with power transformers on each of the positive and negative sides. Each transformer uses a large-capacity 600A toroidal transformer. The filter condenser uses high-quality polyethylene with low noise and excellent impedance characteristics in parallel.
A high-speed regulator with a larger capacity than ML-2L is installed in the power supply from the driver stage to the output stage to provide a clean and stable power supply.
Complimentary service push-pull circuit with pure class A operation is used for all stages.
Balance receiving is also possible by using both CAMAC and Canon terminals.
High power is possible by bridge connection.
