can be a"building block"for r.noreelaborate futurein-
stallations, and yet give grati-fying performance in the
meantime. The'rMonitorOutput Jack"cansupply 2 1,/2
watts at 3-4 ohms, which is sufficient for ordinary
listening when an efficient speaker is used.

graph. The shield must be soldered tc the body ter-
minal of the plug. Low level magnetic cartridges such
as G.E. or Pickering must operate through their pre-
amplifiers.
