    Technical Description INPUT AMPLIFIER The MC 2200 has transient free turn on and turn off Separate input amplifiers are used for the right and characteristics. This is because the output of the amplifier is switched by a heavy duty relay to the output auto trans- left channels.
  • Page 17 The input waveform and the output waveform are compared in an integrated circuit differential amplifier. Any differences, due to distortion of the output waveform, are converted to a control voltage. This control voltage is applied differentially to a high gain operational amplifier where it is amplified about 100 times.
