  • Page 4: Introducing The H-10000 Otl/Ocl Signature Phono-Stage Preamplifier

    The H-10000 OTL/OCL Signature is Allnic Audio’s top-of-the line phono-stage preamplifier. It is Allnic Audio’s only Output Transformer-less (OTL) and Output Capacitor-less (OCL) phono-stage preamplifier.
  • Page 5 this, Allnic uses a “floating power supply circuit”, a design that deals with the issue by not creating any DC potential in the first place, or such a small potential that it is harmless. The H-10000’s OTL/OCL circuit is basically SEPP, “Single-Ended, Push-Pull”, so a “cancellation circuit” is required to adjust the balance of signal between the upper and lower power output tubes’...
  • Page 6 RIAA equalization is a form of establishing a flat frequency response for the playback of recorded music. The necessity for this equalization process arises from mechanical difficulties inherent in record production. To prevent the cutting needle from over-cutting into the next record groove in the bass, as a record is cut, some bass frequencies are attenuated.

    are closest to the outside edge of the chassis. The output connections for each pair are arranged vertically with the left channel connections above the right channel connections (See Figure 4). You may have both balanced and unbalanced outputs connected at the same time. MOVING COIL (MC) STEP-UP TRANSFORMER CONTROLS The moving magnet (MM) input impedance of the H-10000 is 47KΩ...
