AIR TIGHT ATE-2005：Almighty
Phono EQ Amplifier
Setting up a new milestone in playback of analogue
disc.
Taking conventional vinyl-discs in no way inferior to contemporary
digital discs, the A & M have been introducing a series of analogue-related
products such as the ATC-1, ATE-2, ATE-2001. Of late, many of the discerning
audiophiles have been taking a new look at the existing vinyl discs,
and recognizing anew the real value of analogue-recorded sounds.
Consistently
sticking to analogue format employing vacuum tubes as amplifying components,
now grandly introduced is the almighty phono equaliser amplifier ATE-2005.
FEATURES:
1. Onboard head-amp for MC cartridge:
The low-noise, wide-band
head-amp composed of FET provides necessary gain for MC type cartridges.
Any impedance, whether low or high, shall be accommodated.
2. Tube
for amplifying component:
The equalizer employing NF 2-stage,SRPP circuitry
and low-impedance output stage insure high-precision RIAA compliance
by means of stable NFB throughout entire frequency spectrum. Here used
are the strictly selected & long-hour aged ECC83’s boasting
of low noise & high stability
3. Removal of PCB:
To feed music
signals unimpaired, we dare to employ painstaking manual wiring method,
choosing the most suitable wires according to characteristics of each
signal current.
4. Independent 4 sections:
To avoid mutual interferences
for low-noise operation, the whole circuitry is divided into 4 different
blocks, namely, MC amp, valves, EQ amp and power supply. For an EQ
amp that deals with feeble signals from a cartridge, it’s indispensable
to have low noise, low distortion and low loss characteristics. The
rigid chassis structure suppresses vibrations independently in 4 functionally
divided sections. The amp circuit specially disposed on the copper-plated
portion to reinforce resistance to magnetism further helps shut off
mutual interferences.
5．Multiple inputs, 1 MC & 2 MM:
The
MC input coupled to the built-in head amp is for connection with the
MC cartridge, while the other two MM inputs make it possible to utilise
external connection of the MC step-up transformer or separate head
amp. 6. Demagnetiser circuit: The “degauss” function removes
accumulated magnetism in cartridge core during playback of record disc. |
