SQ507X
Commentary

Pre-main amplifier corresponding to the high power model of SQ505X.

The main amplifier section uses ± 2 power supply and all stages are directly connected without capacitor. The complimentary service stage uses pure output method combining PNP and NPN type power transistors to eliminate crossover distortion.
The previous stage consists of a two stage differential amplifier circuit to ensure stable operation.

The equalizer stage of the preamp section uses a new 3-stage direct connection circuit composed of PNP-NPN-PNP type transistors with high power utilization, and an emitter follower circuit is provided behind this stage to keep the input impedance of the Aux terminal high.
To reduce noise, we use ultra-low-noise transistors for all stages of the preamplifier section, and we use tantalum type and Mylar type coupling capacitors with low leakage current to reduce shock noise during switching.

The input impedance of the Phono1 terminal can be switched in three stages.
There is also a level set at the Aux connector.

Equipped with a low booster, high / low filter, and attenuator to increase the low frequency range.

The tone control is equipped with a curve point switch.
