The M411 is a two-channel_ ac operated, equalized preamplifier designed to provide high quality disc reproduction for broadcast and sound recording applications The unit accommodates two independent plug-in, equalized amplifier cards for stereo or two separate monaural channel operation: FEATURES: Compact design , self-powered utilizing 1C components State-of-the-art operational amplifier circuits and bi-polar power supply provide sufficient gain to produce OdBm balanced output level with less than 2.5 micro-volts input noise_ Dual operational amplifiers deliver + 22dBm max to a balanced output load_ A sum signal is developed to produce a balanced mono auxiliary output: Stereo , Mono or Two separate monaural channel operation Line level output (OdBm from SmV cartridge output) An integral active filter maintains precise RIAA frequency reponse at 30Hz but rapidly reduces gain below 20Hz to eliminate the effects of turntable rumble.
A remotely controlled FET switch introduces a high frequency scratch filter to render the reproduction of noisy discs less objectionable. Precise RIAA/NAB equalization The compact M411 mounts directly on the turntable surface or cabinet, installed through a prescribed cut-out. removable front panel escutcheon exposes the plug-in electronics containing all pre-set screwdriver adjust controls: Thus, performance characteristics may be conveniently varied at the operating surface.
Four trim controls are incorporated on each PC card to permit independent adjustment of gain, cartridge loading and high and Iow frequency response: Permanent rumble filter 25dB at 1OHz. Selectable FET HF filter Individual cartridge loading , gain, high and low frequency trim controls for each channel: 8 {
