AST-120T
Commentary

An FM/AM receiver equipped with a slide-type graphic control volume, etc.

The power amplifier uses quasi-frequency ITL and OTL circuits that do not use transformers. Since all the drivers after the driver are directly connected to DC, complimentary service characteristics with less distortion are obtained.
In addition, distortion is suppressed by installing a rumble filter of 30 Hz or less in the low frequency range.

The FM front-end uses a field-effect transistor (FET) to improve sensitivity to weak radio waves.

It is equipped with an SEA connector that can be connected to an SEA controller that can correct the sound characteristics of the listening room and adjust the sound quality. This SEA connector can be developed into a multi-channel system and can be used independently for pre-main and main use.

Equipped with 2 speaker terminals.
