KA-1200
Commentary

A pre-main amplifier with enhanced functions and ease of use.

For the circuit configuration, a 2-stage direct-coupled preamplifier with low noise and high stability using a metal cancel transistor is adopted.
Durability has been improved by the adoption of metal canceler transistor and wire wrapping method.

It is equipped with click tone control, high-cut filter and loudness control.

Equipped with ASO detection electronic protection as a protection circuit.
