Description
Still available here: Kenwood Basic M2 Power Amplifier
The legendary audio power amplifier of the 80s!
One of the best power amplifiers ever built, with absolutely superior and unsurpassed specifications.
Featuring the patented Kenwood Α-Drive to compensate for any line losses and interference on the way to the speaker.
Featuring the patented Kenwood DLD (Dynamic Linear Drive), which provides two separate amplifier circuits:
- One low-power amplifier circuit per channel with the best possible sound and distortion parameters.
- One high-power amplifier circuit per channel with the greatest possible performance.
Featuring original, legendary, and virtually indestructible SanKen transistors. The pinnacle of Kenwood's unsurpassed development work and Japanese manufacturing expertise.
DAT1521 (Dual Audio Transistor) transistors are used, with paired and calibrated transistor pairs mounted on a single die. Accuphase, Luxman, Yamaha, and Sansui have also used SanKen. There's nothing better!
Extremely rare to find these days, as mostly only counterfeits remain on the market.
With speaker protection circuitry and gentle power-on delay.
