Audio Database Accuphase P-500 510,000 yen(May, 1985 release) Description Stereo power amplifier which supplied the technology of Accuphase tradition and was developed towards an audio new time. Rapid changes in the music signal and occasionally, an instantaneous signal to the pulse of the response to the significant power to try and collectors loss Pc150W the output stage transistors in parallel to the push-pull 6, a total of 12 units / ch, Breakdown them. If power efficiency of an output stage is made into 70%, a theoretical marginal output will be set to 4,200W. Therefore, it has sufficient margin, even if it takes out the rated maximum except take-off, and the safety of an output stage is raised. In order to suppress the switching distortion at the time of the Koide power produced in an output stage, the operating point is strictly set up so that the element of PNP and each NPN may not be cut off with an incoming signal. And the preceding paragraph which drives a final stage adopts MOS FET equivalent to a non switching Class-A drive, and constitutes it from a cascode push pull. Moreover, the preceding paragraph which sends a signal to this MOS FET is also made into the Class-A cascode push pull. The output stage stabilized also to little distorted load from the Koide power of a noise domain to the Oide power of an Output power by this is constituted. The input circuit constitutes the cascode bootstrap push pull circuit. A cascode bootstrap circuit is excellent in the high frequency characteristic with high gain, and has the feature that no aggravation of a distortion is also to change of input impedance. constituting this circuit from a push pull -- a broadband drive stage -- conjointly -- the base in NF loop -- the characteristic is improved. The direct connection system is adopted as the input unit. moreover -- if a direct current is omitted with direct-current servo system which is the original of an Accuphase in order to prevent amplifying it and damaging a speaker, when the large preamplifier of direct-current drift etc. is connected -- bothdirect-current drift of the amplifier by a temperature change itself is also stabilized. The 40kohm balanced input full-scale besides the usual 20kohm phono jack input is carried. The Subsonic Filter which cuts 10Hz or less is carried. Sound quality degradation is lost by a good element, and it is set as the frequency which does not affect an audio frequency band. The guide type meter which can carry out the Direct reading of dB and the output watt is carried. By a logarithm compression type, the Direct reading of the large power range of -60dB-+3dB can be carried out. Moreover, the switch by which an operation and lighting of meter are turned off is also built in. By a bridge connection changeover switch, the use as monophonic power amplifier is possible.
