Pioneer SA-710

Commentary

Stereo pre-main amplifier using pure complimentary service OCL ocL system directly connected to all stages.

The equalizer uses a carefully selected PNP type low-noise transistor for the first stage and a 3-stage direct amplifier with an emitter follower circuit for the second stage.
The high gain of the first stage satisfies the requirements for a low-noise, high-gain head amplifier.

In order to completely suppress the deviation of the RIAA playback curve, the NFB element of the equalizer and the element of the part receiving NFB use nichrome evaporated metal film resistance with 1% error and styrene capacitor with 2% error.

In the control amplifier section, an FET with high input impedance is used for the first stage, so no noise change occurs regardless of the adjustment position of the volume control.

Bass and Treble are equipped with independent turn-over switches, each of which can independently select the turn-over frequency, so you can control the tone according to the characteristics and effect of the source.

Equipped with a tone defeat switch that can select tone flat with one touch regardless of the turnover position or tone characteristics.

The power circuit uses a direct-coupled pure complimentary service OCL system for all one stage differentials.
In addition to the one stage differential amplifier, the bias temperature guarantee circuit at the first stage provides sufficient DC stability, so that the 0 potential at the output point does not collapse even with large temperature changes.
In addition, the use of a large radiator and a power transistor with high breakdown strength provides a high degree of safety, and high power is obtained in a stable state.

PNP and NPN transistors with the same pair characteristics are used for the driver and power transistor.
In addition, the use of a large radiator, a current limiting circuit, and an electronic protective circuit increases the safety level.

There are two circuits for the TapeMon jacks, and duplication is also possible.
In addition, it is equipped with a two circuit speaker terminal which can play A, B, A + B individually or in combination.

It has a built-in subsonic filter (5 Hz, 12dB/oct) to cut unwanted noise in the ultra low frequency range.

The protective circuit is a combination of an electronic circuit and a power relay. An indicator lights when the protective circuit is activated.
It also serves as a power muting to eliminate shock noise when the power supply is turned on.

Attached is the measured data for each unit.
