Commentary

This is a pre-main amplifier with a tune amplifier based on the chassis construction of PM-90.

Newly developed technologies such as unified parts and high-speed modules for the SE Series have been introduced to further improve S/N and speaker drive performance.

A total of 10 HDAM modules, newly developed high-speed modules, are used.
This module is a high-speed voltage amplification module that achieves accurate signal amplification in a few seconds, improving the sense of density and speed of playback sound.

The power block uses a carefully selected new-model MOS FET and is composed of parallel push-pull.
The current drive capability is superior to that of conventional MOS FET when triple push-pull is used.

The volume part is improved in quality to 4-row active volume.
The variable gain range of the PM-99SE is greatly expanded by combining four active volumes with HDAM. In addition, the S/N ratio of the PM-99SE in actual use is improved by adopting a resistor rotating type volume component for low impedance specifications.

In pursuit of electromagnetic shielding capability and high rigidity, we have improved shielding capability and vibration damping by adopting low-foil electrolytic capacitor with copper shield, 70 μ - foil printed circuit board, silicon steel shield plate, side die-cast panel, copper plated die-cast chassis, and 3 mm thick top cover.

A large toroidal power transformer is used for the power supply section.
