Audio Database LUXMAN L-550 250,000yen(November, 1981 release) Description �@ The Integrated Amplifier which carries a DUObeta circuit / S. In addition to the power source plusX of the DUObeta circuit which combined "proper-quantity NFB" and "DC servo", and a control feedback of tone-quality dominance, the DUObeta circuit / S which furthermore, added "one-step amplification amplifier" are developed, and it carries in the equalizer and the power part. One-step amplification amplifier has adopted FET for MC head amplifier as the first rank, and has the structure of taking out gain required for high gm and this FET of a low-noise by sending the large current of 7mA per one stone from the first. After making an output stage become independent completely so that it can come, simultaneously there may be no influence in the first rank, the 2nd step is removed, and the voltage amplification has realized the ideal circuitry only of one step. The output unit is the intrinsic Class-A operation which fixes a bias current, and has realized Oide power of 50 W/ch. In a lot of exothermics by Class-A operation, it corresponds by two large-sized heat pipes, and this heat pipe is considering it as a symmetric figure, and has banished heat-dissipation sound. One-step amplification amplifier is adopted also as a head amplifier part. The low-noise is realized making the very low PNP transistor of input equivalent resistance into a single differential at the first rank, and obtaining sufficient gain. An input selector, light filters, a monophonic switchpoint, a balance control, etc. are separated at the time of a disk play, and the phone straight functionality which links an equalizer and power amplifier directly is carried. Since sound-recording frequencies, such as a disk, may be rising gently toward a high region or may be descending conversely, such a peculiarity is rectified and the linear equalizer which returns recording characteristics to a flat is carried. A high region and low-pass one carry the tone control which can choose nine turnover frequencies. It is the design which thought as important the frequency which begins a transition rather than the variation, and the Lux scheme NF type tone control from which a gentle transition property is acquired is adopted. The capacity of 400VA was given to the power-source part using the requests-for-price-quotations EI core, and the power transformer which hardened the interior by silica sand and suppressed the temperature rise is adopted as it. Moreover, the thing with a capacity of 30,000 micro F is employed full time as an electrolytic capacitor two times by 99.99% of an aluminum purity, and ending with a tone-quality measure. The Puri heating functionality is carried, and a small-quantity electric current can be sent and warmed. The warmup indicator is carried and it can check having gone into operational stability. The line phase sensor is carried, the polarity of the AC power source of an it1 is detected, and a tone-quality mandatory is possible.
