- Page 5 IRCUIT DESIGN The MV60 circuit is notable for its elegant simplicity. A triode input amplifier comprised of paralleled sections of a 12AX7A is direct coupled to a cathode coupled differential phase inverter using high current triodes to provide balanced, low impedance drive to the push-pull output stage.
- Page 6 The cabinet or shelf should be open at both front and back. For more restricted installations, cooling fans are essential. The MV60 is supplied with a cover for the vacuum-tubes, which can be secured by the two captive screws inside the cover. The cover provides protection from the hot surfaces of the vacuum-tubes.

OUTPUT: Five way binding posts are provided for connection of your loudspeakers, with correct spacing to accept a standard "double ba-...
- Page 8 This will be the case if the number of phase inversions is even (or zero). The MV60 is phase correct. If your system has an odd number of inversions, then you must add one phase inversion. This is conveniently done by reversing the positive and negative connections to your speak- ers (be sure to reverse both channels).

- Page 10 If it is left on at all times, tube life can be exhausted in a matter of a few months. The MV60 has been designed to make tube replacement as simple as possible. Because the output tubes are individually biased, replacement tubes need not be matched pairs.
- Page 11 This biasing procedure should be performed whenever the amplifier’s output tubes are replaced and after each six months of average use. PLATE FUSE: Your MV60 has been fitted with plate supply fuses which are designed to protect the amplifier circuitry in the event of output tube failure.
- Page 12 Weight: 48 lbs. Internal Fuses The MV60 power transformer is protected by a fuse on the ac power line (F1, located in a compartment in the ac line-cord receptacle mounted on the back of the amplifier), and by a separate fuse (F2, located on the pc board) for the secondary windings for the filament supply.
