Accuphase C-245

Commentary
The Stereo Control Center has refined its performance and sound quality by following up on the technologies accumulated so far.
The model name of the 200 series has been inherited as a successor to the C-200 series of separate amplifier which has been the main pillar since the foundation.
The amplifier uses a current feedback amplifier circuit that feeds back the output signal in the form of an electric current.
In this circuit, the impedance of the input terminal on the feedback side is lowered to detect a current, and the current is I-V converted by a transformer impedance amplifier to produce an output signal. Since the impedance of the feedback input part is low, phase rotation hardly occurs, and various characteristics can be greatly improved with a small amount of NFB.
The line amplifier unit is a pure complimentary service push-pull circuit with 3 parallel input elements for low noise. It is a current feedback amplifier circuit and consists of discrete parts.
The C-245 is an AccuPhase original MCS (Multiple) with a fully independent 6-child line amplifier unit of 3 parallel x2 configuration.
By integrating the left and right line amplifier units into two line amplifiers with three parallel connections, various characteristics such as S / N ratio and distortion factor have been greatly improved.
Six line amplifiers, balanced input amplifiers, and balanced output amplifiers are completely independent to create a total of 10 unit amplifiers on the left and right sides.
These unit amplifiers are firmly fixed with a frame material so that they do not interfere with each other, preventing resonance due to external vibration.
The power transformer, filter and condenser are independent on the left and right sides and are electrically monaural.
A wide-band low-impedance power supply is provided for all unit amplifiers, and each amplifier is equipped with a dedicated power supply to prevent mutual interference between the amplifiers.
The tone control features an additive active filter tone control.
In this method, the original flat signal passes straight through, and characteristics are controlled by making another characteristic as necessary and adjusting it from the flat signal.
It uses a logic relay control method to configure the shortest and straight signal path.
The relay used for this is a closed type relay for the communication industry. The contact is gold-plated and crossbar twin system, and the quality of low contact resistance and post-durability is high.
Equipped with a balanced input terminal.
Uses insulator made of high carbon cast iron.
Equipped with an EXT PRE function for enjoying with an external preamp.
It is equipped with a compensator function to increase the bass range when the volume is low.
It comes with a remote commander that can change volume and input.
An option board can be added to the option slot on the rear panel.
