Commentary
The Audio Control Center combines the basic performance of pure signal transmission with an 8-band equalizer and a variety of output terminals.
It is equipped with an 8-band equalizer that can adjust each of the 8 frequencies within ± 12 dB. It can be adjusted according to the source to be played or the listening space. The center position of each knob is a flat position that bypasses the circuit.
The volume uses a VRV (Variable Rate Volume) digital electronic volume with 214 steps in increments of 0.5 dB. The volume can be adjusted like an analog volume.
In addition, it has a structure that is resistant to the secular change of the contact, and stable operation for a long period is possible.
Eight input terminals can be programmed.
Using an electromagnetic switch filled with inert gas, it is resistant to oxidation, and can switch signals without distortion without causing contact failure over a long period of time.
The fluorescent display uses a light diffusion fiber illumination structure that improves visibility without compromising the external design.
