The Teac
model AE-200 incorporates for amplification a "differential circuit"
widely used in computers and instrumentation data recorders which are also
manufactured at the Computer Products Division of Teac. The result is an
extremely wide dynamic range and virtually flat response extending well into
the low frequency range.
For ultimate
performance of the differential amplifier, a dual power supply system is
employed in the Teac model AE-200 (+40 volt, -0 volt, -40 volt). This permits
elimination of condensers from the output circuit, to provide automatic
compensation of delicate current balance and virtually flat response. This is
particularly evident in the low frequency range.
In addition
to an ordinary protective circuit, a special thermo-breaker is provided in the
Teac AE-200 for complete protection from accidental damage to the amplifier by
short circuits in the speaker wiring. Should the breaker be tripped by a short
circuit, the cause should be eliminated and the reset buttons depressed to
restore operation of the amplifier.
The Teac
model AE-200 gives you 50 clean watts per channel at 8 ohms, and 60 watts per
channel at 4 ohms. This is the amplifier's full rated power (continuous sine
wave) with a total harmonic distortion of an amazing 0,5% within 0,5 dB. Teac
has no need to rely on misleading, inflated so-called "music power"
specifications. The virtually undistored power AE-200 delivers is more than
enough to drive any speaker system.
Unique
concealed Panel Control. Drop the panel lid and Presto. A complete stereo
control is revealed with every relinement to please the most discriminating
audiophile. Shut the panel and your Model AE-200 is a masterpiece of modern
design. Controls in frequent use are always visible and easily accessible.
Infrequently used controls are concealed behind the beautiful Eurasian wood
panel.
Phase
reverse switch. A very convenient
combination switch for phase checking of multichannel speaker systems by
reversing polarity or electrically interchanging the left and right speakers.
Also, either channel speaker can be individually switched on.
Balans
Check. A very unique circuit utilizing the differential amplifier
characteristic. When the balance in output of both L and R channels is perfect,
they will be canceled and no sound will be heard from the speaker. A signal
source applied in parallel to the input is most convenient at making this
check.
