Features of This Unit

Design of using vacuum tubes for all
amplification circuits
All the amplification circuits consist of vacuum tubes (ECC83S
x 2 pieces, ECC82 x 2 pieces, and KT88 x 4 pieces) that are
manufactured by JJ Electronic in Slovak Republic.
Necessary and sufficient rated output
The rated output of 25 W+25 W (at the load of 4, 8, and
16 Ω) that enables necessary and sufficient sound volume in
various speaker environments.
Output tube, KT88
KT88 manufactured by JJ Electronic in Slovak Republic is
used in the push-pull structure as an output tube, which has
the reputation of powerful and thick tone quality.
Parallelized first stage
The amplifier on the first stage has been parallelized and
directly connected to the driver stage with a high S/N ratio
and low-impedance transmission.
Triode connection
The proven Mullard type circuit (for the driver stage) has been
equipped, and KT88, an output tube, has been used in a way
of triode connection.
Impedance matching
Speaker terminals dedicated for 4, 8, and 16 Ω are equipped,
which can be used according to the impedance of the speak-
ers to be used.

Old-time parts layout
This product has a parts layout inspired by the design of old-
time masterpiece, MQ60.
Monocoque chassis structure
This product features a monocoque chassis structure that is
orthodox and has been proven.
OY-15 output transformer
The OY-15 output transformer contained in an aluminum die
casting case has been revived in an original shape.
Large-capacity power transformer
An EI-type large-capacity power transformer is used to obtain
persistent tone quality.
LUXMAN's original block capacitor
LUXMAN's original large-sized block capacitor is used to
supply stable power.
2-line input
There are two lines of inputs for input terminals; one is a
variable input capable of sound volume adjustment, and the
other is a direct input to bypass the volume.
