Commentary
This is a stereo power amplifier that meets the same overall characteristics as the ML-3, but can be used in a wider range of applications at about half the power, size and price.
A push-pull circuit is used for all stages, and a 1.2 kva toroidal transformer and two 36,000 μ F large-capacity capacitors are used for the power supply.
The damping factor can be switched to three levels per channel, taking into consideration the load fluctuation of the speakers.
