Audio Database Accuphase C-245 320,000 yen(December, 2001 release) Description The stereo control center which followed the technology accumulated until now and polished up the engine performance and sound quality. The model name of the base of No. 200 is inherited as a succeeding machine of C-separation amplifier 200 series used as the main column since foundation. The current feedback magnification circuit which returns an output signal in the form of current is used for a magnification system. In this circuit, the impedance of the input terminal by the side of a return was lowered, current was detected, I-V conversion of that current was carried out with the transformer impedance amplifier, and the output signal is made. Since the impedance of a return input portion was low, it was hard to generate phase rotation, and many characteristics can be sharply improved by a little NFB. a line amplifier unit -- a pure complimentary push pull circuit -- an input element -- 3 -- it presupposed that it is parallel and low noise-ization is measured. This is made into a current feedback magnification circuit, and it constitutes from a discrete part. The original MCS (Multiple Circuit Summing-up) circuit of an Accuphase which considered full independence 6 child's line amplifier unit as 3 parallel x2 composition is used for C-245. Many characteristics, such as the signal to noise ratio and a distortion, are sharply improved by putting together in two line amplifier by making the line amplifier unit of each right and left into 3 parallel connection. Full independence of six line amplifier, balance input amplifier, and the balance output amplifier was carried out, and it had right-and-left a total of ten unit amplifier composition, and arranges to the mother board. It fixed firmly with frame timber so that a mutual intervention might not be carried out, and these unit amplifier has prevented resonance by external vibration. Right-and-left independence is achieved also with a power transformer, a filter, and a capacitor, and it has monophonic composition electrically. Moreover, it had the broadband low impedance power source supplied to all the unit amplifier, the exclusive power source was further prepared in each amplifier, respectively, and the mutual intervention between amplifier is prevented. Tone control of an added type active filter system is carried in tone control. By this system, it passed straight, if needed, the original flat signal was another, made the characteristic, is making it adjust from a flat signal, and has controlled the characteristic. The logic relay control system which constitutes a straight signal course at the shortest is adopted. Adopting the sealed type relay for communication industry as the relay used for this, contacts are a plated with gold and a crossbar twin system, and have become a thing of low contact resistance and after durability which has high quality. The balance input terminal is carried. The insulator made of high carbon cast iron is employed. The EXT PRE function enjoyed by an external preamplifier is carried. The Compensation function which increases the quantity of a low-pitched sound region at the time of small volume is carried. Volume and the remote commander in whom an input change is possible are attached. Into the slot for options of a rear panel, extension of an option board is possible.
