Commentary
This is a stereo power amplifier developed by the Macintosh to realize the policy of "better sound longer" more surely.
Equipped with a unique power guard mechanism.
A waveform comparison circuit is built into the circuit to compare the waveform states of the input and output signals. When the harmonic 歪総 reaches 0.5% or more, the input is restricted to prevent clipping, and the speaker is protected safely.
Equipped with a self-diagnosis device, the circuit is divided into seven circuits and automatically checked. If there is a problem, the output to the speakers is automatically stopped until repair is done, preventing naming due to excessive operation.
By adopting an output transformer originally developed by Macintosh, impedance matching is greatly improved, and the power transistor can be operated at a temperature about 20 ℃ lower than that of a normal amplifier.
As a result, a large output can be obtained with a sufficient margin, extending the time when the system can demonstrate its ability.
