Like all other components of the series, it is enclosed in an impressive metal case, the front panel of which is carved from a solid aluminum billet. The blue-lit window on the top panel allows you to see the entire contents of the amplifier, but you can turn off the backlight by pressing a special key located exactly in the middle of the facade.

    The input stage is a fully symmetrical broadband voltage amplifier with a signal rise rate of 300 V/µs and a loopback feedback circuit for error correction. The output stage has 64 MOSFET field—effect transistors with a double substrate - they are custom-made for Chord Electronics and matched in pairs. The servo circuit monitors the absence of a constant component at the output and thermal compensation.
