fi
Discrete
Amplifiers
Rather
than
inexpensive

found
in
some
conventional

your
A-9210
uses
costly,

;
amplifiers
to
drive
each
channel.
In
conjunction
with
the
heavy-duty
transformers
and
large
chemical
capacitors,
dis-
crete
outputs
help
the
A-9210
excel
at
accurately
driving
the
most
demanding
low-impedance
loads.
