- Page 2 CAD-1610-SE is an air gap design with full bias running on a continual basis. The output transformer in the CAD-1610-SE is the most important component in the amplifier and has been specifically designed by Cary Audio Design for use in the CAD-1610’s. We have taken the approach in the output transformer design the use oxygen free copper wire.

This choke takes the place of a conventional resistor used in most amplifiers. The choke allows the 300B to swing a much greater amount of amplified AC audio signal to the output T-1610 tube.

The CAD-1610-SE’s may be operated with no load (without speaker) without damage to the amplifier, output transformer or tubes.

CAD-1610-SE PLACEMENT The CAD-1610-SE is designed for use inside homes. It must be protected from the elements and temperature extremes. For example, avoid placing the amplifier in extremely hot locations such as near radiators or other heating units. Its location among the user’s audio components is not critical; however, certain precautions must be taken. -
