Commentary
AM/FM multi-stereo tri-amplifier equipped with a pure electronic FM mono ⇔ stereo automatic switching device in the FM section.
Equipped with an automatic switching device between FM mono and stereo. In the case of stereo broadcast transmission, the circuit is automatically switched.
Because the equipment is purely electronic, performance degradation due to aging is suppressed unlike mechanical switching systems.
The equalizer circuit uses full printed wiring, which was rare in vacuum tube type amplifiers at that time, and the heater uses full direct current ignition to improve S/N.
As a result, the internal hum of the vacuum tube, which is seen in the AC ignition system, is eliminated, and safety measures are taken against impacts during transportation.
We have developed and adopted an MPX noise filter that removes only noise without damaging the high frequency range.
The meter on the dial face does not change over time like the conventional magic eye and can be used semipermanently.
The FM AFC switch also eliminates the need to worry about the influence of ambient temperature changes and heat generation of the amplifier itself.
In order to cope with SCA broadcasting, a beat prevention circuit is mounted.
It is equipped with a special circuit to prevent beat interference even when FM multi-broadcasting is recorded.
In addition, it is equipped with a headphone jack, a dedicated screw terminal for body grounding, and a terminal for simultaneous recording.
