DA-44U
Commentary

Pre-main amplifier with all-silicon transistor configuration.

The power amplifier section uses a quasi complimentary service SEPPP OTL circuit.

A 4-series volume is used for the volume, and it is changed at both the input and output sides of the preamplifier.
This prevents the S / N ratio from deteriorating at low volume.

A 3-stage direct connection amplifier is used for the preamplifier section.
This 3-stage direct-coupled amplifier is also used in the equalizer amplifier section to achieve low distortion by applying sufficient negative feedback.

The tone control employs a CR-type step-type, and by switching each independent element with a rotary switch, an accurate and straightforward change curve is obtained.
In addition, it is equipped with a tone defeat switch, and flat characteristics can be obtained with one touch.

There are two types of speaker jacks available for switching.

Equipped with two Phono terminals.

It has a built-in MC head amplifier (* There are some catalogs without description, so I don't know.)
