AKAI PS-200 (1979) - Stereo Pre-Power Amplifier

Stereo Pre-Power Amplifier

Brand: AKAI
Model: PS-200C | PS-200M
Year: 1979

The PS-200C preamplifier is characterized by the following properties: The entire signal path is designed using DC differential amplifier technology. The same applies to the phono amplifier, which makes it possible to connect a moving coil pickup system (3-phono inputs). For optimal adaptation to all commercially available pickups, the input impedance of the phono amplifier can be switched between 33, 47 and 100 kOhm. Together with the existing ground terminals, this results in an excellent performance with hum-free phono reproduction. The 250 W/channel professional PS-200M power amplifier, like the PS-200C preamplifier, is designed using DC differential technology. Twin power transformers supply power for this dual mono construction model. Two large power (watt/dB) indicators together with a 9-step peak-power LED display provides information about the power output. There are also electrical protection circuits for overloads, speaker defects or cable short circuits to protect the expensive output transistors. A subsonic filter prevents low-frequency interference caused by record treble or rumble.
