Commentary
Tube type preamplifier.
The circuit structure is similar to that of Marantz #7, except that the last stage of the equalizer stage is 12AT7, and the low-frequency time constant of the equalizer stage is two stages.
The chassis structure incorporates a transistor-type channel divider for a 3-channel amplifier in the upper space of six vacuum tubes arranged in a row.
It has a test signal oscillation circuit and can generate test signals (100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz).
Equipped with low / high filter, muting switch, and crossover frequency variable channel filter.
