MC7300
Commentary

A stereo power amplifier with half the output of MC2600.

A newly designed output transformer has been adopted to realize output regardless of load and output current capacity exceeding 85A at peak.

The signal system uses a circuit based on MC2600 for balanced / unbalanced input, and is equipped with a 2.5 v and 1.4 v sensitivity selector switch.
It employs technologies such as symmetric amplification after the pre-drive stage and an auto-tracking bias system that does not generate crossover distortion.

The output terminal uses a gold-plated terminal that can handle 6 mm cables.

A newly developed large power meter is also used to detect and calculate the output voltage and current, and accurately displays the actual output voltage that changes from time to time.
The meter indicator responds approximately 10 times faster than the commercial VU meter, and peak hold display is also available.

In the unlikely event of overheating, an automatic return type thermal cutout operates.
It is also equipped with a power guard system that compares input and output waveforms and automatically reduces the gain when the distortion exceeds a specified amount.
With a total of seven of these elaborate protection systems, you can be sure that you don't move in any way.
