ML-6AL
Commentary

A control amplifier based on the ML-7L and designed to be fully monaural.

With a four casing structure in which the left and right power supplies (PLS-154L) and left and right control amplifiers are all independent, mutual interference is suppressed and sound quality is improved.

The basic design is based on the design philosophy of the ML-7L. It has a circuit structure consisting of only phono amplifiers and line amplifiers and a block structure with plug-in circuits. Moreover, it has a simple structure with only one input and one line, and only volume control for further high purity.

By simplifying the circuit and making it monaural, we have added a decoupling capacitor for the power supply to the empty space.

Comes with a wooden case.

The Phono Amp had optional high-gain L3 and L3A plug-in cards dedicated to the MC cartridge.
