Commentary
A stereo power amplifier with dual monaural configuration.
It has a fully dual-mono configuration and the rear power cords have independent left and right channels.
This eliminates the interference between the channels.
It is equipped with a large heat sink for heat radiation at high output.
The crossover notch is removed and the sharp crossover notch found in transistor amplifiers is removed.
VOD (Variable Overlap Drive) circuit is adopted.
This system uses a special current control circuit and a double safety circuit to provide sufficient stability under any load conditions, thereby preventing transistor and speaker failures.
The wood cabinet with walnut was an option sold separately.
