Commentary

A pre-main amplifier that achieves both power and quality.

A pure complimentary service OCL circuit directly connected to all stages is used for the power amplifier.

By applying a high voltage of ± 55 v to the equalizer amplifier section, a high input resistance of 400 mv is achieved. The RIAA element uses a high-precision metal film resistor and a plastic film capacitor to achieve an accuracy within ± 0.2 db of deviation.
The circuit is a 3-stage direct-coupled circuit with one stage differential.

The tone amplifier section is an NF type with simple change characteristics, and consists of a two stage direct-coupled circuit including one stage differential.
This circuit is also composed of ± 2 power supply.

The power supply section uses a large cut core transformer with low flux and stable regulation and a 10,000 μ Fx2 large-capacity electrolytic capacitor. The power supply transformer is designed as a separate pre-winding wire. The pre-section is driven by a constant voltage ± 2 power supply over all stages.

It has a duplicate switch that can copy between two decks.
Tape 2 terminals are also provided on the front panel.

It is equipped with a muting circuit when the power is turned on and an automatic recovery protection circuit which protects the speaker and transistor by using a relay.

The volume used is an attenuator type volume with less error in linking the left and right channels.
This volume is a 22-point click high precision type.

The tone control has two levels of high and low turnover frequency, and equipped with a defeat position.

Equipped with 3-step switching type muting circuit.

Low filter and high filter can be switched in 2 stages respectively.

Actually measured data sheet is included.
This data sheet includes seven items : input sensitivity (phono, aux), continuous output, harmonic distortion factor, signal-to-noise ratio, Phono maximum allowable input, frequency-distortion factor characteristics, and RIAA deviation.
