Commentary

This is a pre-main amplifier that inherits the concept of SANSUI's amplifier manufacturing to the details.

A 4-amp push-pull advanced alpha-X balance circuit with amplifiers on the + and - sides of the output drives the speakers from both + and - sides.
By completely separating the amplifier circuit and ground circuit, it is free from external noise and in-phase distortion. In addition, by adopting NM-LAPT for audio only, the impedance of the circuit is reduced and dynamic frequency characteristics are improved.

The power supply section has a closed-loop configuration, newly developed electrolytic capacitor and power transformer, and the fast recovery diode is custom-made to ensure a high-speed and stable power supply.

In order to effectively suppress the vibration of the power supply system and signal system, a reinforced twin monaural construction is adopted to realize the optimum weight balance.
In addition, the vibration transmission path between the master volume and the chassis is completely cut off by the integrated mechanical feedback which effectively utilizes the isolation parts made of pure copper.

We pursue the quality of each part focusing on the part where music signals directly pass through. We are also particular about ensuring high sound quality with the vibration dispersion and non-resonance design of the insulator and the specification of bronze screws for other parts.

Equipped with a power amplifier / direct input that directly inputs the audio signal of the digital source to the power amplifier section, high purity transmission and amplification are possible.
In addition, since it is equipped with a balance input, if it is connected to an external device capable of balance output, a playback system by balance transmission and input can be constructed.

The Source Power Direct allows all normal line inputs to be connected directly to the power amplifier, allowing the pure sound of the source to be reproduced without passing through the less frequently used accessory circuit.

It features a 6-channel detent volume, a gold-plated input terminal, a large speaker terminal, real sidewood, and a polarity display power cord / AC outlet.
