Commentary

A pre-main amplifier developed according to the orthodox way, avoiding coloring in all aspects of performance, function and design.

A single-stage, pure complimentary service OCL circuit is used in the circuit structure to minimize changes in sound quality by simplifying the signal path as much as possible.
All parts have extra space, especially the power transistor has been upgraded to Pc40W, and the radiator is one size larger than the conventional one.

Low-impedance speaker drives are also designed to ensure that the speakers are driven in the best possible condition.

It is equipped with separate terminals for preamp output and power amplifier input, and can be used separately with one slide switch.

A high-voltage low-noise silicon transistor is used for the equalizer circuit.

Two MIC input terminals and REC terminals are installed.

BAX-type deformation is used for tone control. Variable type is 11-position click-stop type.
It is also equipped with a loudness control and a high-cut filter.

There was a wood case as an option sold separately.
