AU-2000
Commentary

A pre-main amplifier incorporating Sansui's audio technology.
It is made by inheriting the technology of high-end models.

A large transformer is used for the power supply.

The amplifier section consists of a quasi complimentary service / darlington SEPP / OTL circuit.
It also uses a fuse to protect the power transistor.

Built-in features include tuner-priority selectors, low / high filters, loudness, tape monitor, mode switch, and three way speaker switching.

Microphone jack and DIN terminal are mounted on the front panel.
Compatible with high impedance microphones.
