Commentary

Pre-main amplifier with all stages directly connected + pure complimentary service circuit.

All stages are connected directly to the main amplifier section. Interstage coupling capacitors are removed from the first stage to the last stage. In addition, a ± 2 power supply system using a first stage differential system is adopted. The potential at the output terminal of the amplifier is set to 0, and deep NFB is applied to extend various characteristics to the ultra-low frequency range.
In addition, a pure complimentary service circuit using the Darlington method of PNP-NPN is adopted for the output stage to suppress distortion of the amplifier.

It is equipped with an electronic protection circuit by DC drift detection and ASO detection, and a protection circuit by 3 layers protection of quick acting fuse.

A transistor is used for adjusting the idle current to obtain stable operation that is resistant to fluctuations in power Dainyu and power supply.

Equipped with a tone control defeat circuit.

A transformer with a short ring is used to improve the SN ratio.

DIN terminal and microphone terminal are mounted on the front.
