The digital pots Z108D and Z108A control the bass and treble Pre-amplifier circuit description respectively. This is done by moving the wiper connected to the frequency-sensitive impedance between the non-inverting and inverting terminals of Z112A, effectively changing the ratio of The A85 preamplifier is a high-performance, DC coupled design feedback boost and feed-forward attenuation of the circuit at the with microprocessor control of input select, two independent tape...

Star point SP100 is the ground ‘mecca’ for the entire amplifier Amplifier & PSU Circuit Description (comprising all three PCBs within the unit). All of the separately named grounds are joined explicitly at this point. Different named grounds are used to ensure that no two ‘different’ grounds share L882PB is the printed circuit board that provides the power supply copper, which could compromise the noise, distortion or crosstalk and output stage amplifiers for the A85 integrated and power...
