Commentary
An all-transistor solid-state pre-main amplifier employing a mesa silicon transistor.
Mesa silicon and power and power transistors to achieve excellent frequency characteristics of up to 120 kHz.
In addition, distortion at low output is improved.
In addition to the OTL (Output Transformerless) method, the ITL (Input Transformerless) method, in which the transformer connecting the output transistor and driver stage is removed, realizes transformerless operation from input to output.
It refers to a safer circuit and provides double protection by a protection circuit.
This prevents damage to the power transistor when an excessive input is applied.
Two MAG input terminals are provided so that two players can be used.
In addition, it is equipped with a terminal that can be directly connected to the tape head to play back the tape, a tape monitor mechanism that can play while recording, a tuner input terminal and a spare terminal.
It is equipped with additional mechanisms such as phase switch, low and high frequency noise filter, loudness control, headphone jack, etc.
A DIN standard one connection adapter for connecting DIN standard connectors was sold separately.
