Commentary
A pre-main amplifier with improved operability by microcomputer control using ASPIC.
With microcomputer control using ASP (audio signal processor) IC, push control of digital volume and other operation parts is realized.
Equipped with an acoustic flavor mechanism, you can preset any of two frequency characteristics that can be obtained by a combination of tone, subsonic and high filter.
In addition to the volume, balance, and muting of the bar graph display, the frequency characteristic control state is centrally displayed by the FL fluorescent display tube.
The power amplifier uses a legato linear system with a Hi-ft transistor.
Acoustic flavor Non-volatile memory that does not require a backup power supply is used for the memory of the mechanism.
This ensures that unplugging the power cord does not cancel and is semi-permanent.
A large-capacity capacitor is used for the power supply unit.
Straight transmission using a heat pipe is adopted.
Equipped with audio muting, subsonic filter, and high filter.
With RM-44 (sold separately), wireless remote control can be used when combined as "The Session System".
