Sansi\sui’s AU/TU Series of stereo in. d amplifiers and stereo FM/AM has received the highest praise, s gathered the most devoted fol- of auciophiles, of any series of delity components we have ever xctured, Since its. introduction van a decade ago, the series has represented not only the latest ast advanced technical develop: ‘and applications in the industry 0 the finest in user-oriented con: 2es and design innovations, this brochure we are proud to in. the latest in the Sansul AU/TU They are the most powerful, ccurate, most dependable stereo nents yet to join the series, and present at the very highest pro: al level the famed Sansui tonal standards in every respect. AU20000 AMPLIFIER HIGH-OUTPUT, LOW-DISTORTION CIRCUITRY The AU-20000 is the most powerful integrated amplifier in Sansur’s dis tinguished AU Series. Its constant and reliable power output is @ cotinuous 170 watts, min. RMS,. per channel, both channels driven into 8 ohms, over a 20 Hz to 20kHz bandwidth with no more than 0.053 total harmonic distortion. POWERFUL TRIPLE PUSH-PULL OUTPUT CIRCUIT DESIGN ‘No lass than six hand-selected power transistors are used in each output chen- nel. The triple push-pull circuitry here is guaranteed to deliver its rated output at the lowest possible distortion—power to spare, always. DEPENDABLE POWER SUPPLY Particularly close attention is peid to the power supply design to ensure de- pendability and stability. The circuit is the plus-minus symmetrical voltage type, coupling a low-magnetic-leakage toroidal transformer with extra large capacitors. DUAL-AMPLIFIER PHONO EQUALIZER WITH LOW-NOISE TRANSISTORS Dynamic response is improved by the S-transistor equalizer with differ- ential amplifies at its initial stages. Di tortion is totally minimized, and the dual amplifier design—a CR type for highs and a NF type for lows achieves very ac curate RIAA equalizetion. ‘TRIPLE TONE CONTROLS ‘The AU-20000 features Sansui's ex clusive Triple Tone Control design, con- trolled by a CR type circuit. A wide dy- namic range and excellent transient re- sponse are assured by the use of a plus- COMPLETE TRIPLE PROTECTION CIRCUITS Damage and breakdowns are avoid- ed entirely with the use of a temperature sensing circuit, a DC voltege detection circuit and an ASO (Area of Safety Oper ation) detection circuit. Shorts in speak er terminals of leads, or power/tempera- ture emergencies instantly activate these circuits for complete protection. SELECTABLE PHONO SENSITIVITY) IMPEDANCE ‘The phono input circuitry in the AU- 20000 incorporates two special selec- tors, each with three positions, to allow the selection of the correct sensitivity and impedance to obtain optimum results, with any cartridge in use. VERSATILE TAPE MONITOR CIRCUIT ‘The AU-20000 accepts up to three stereo tape decks and provides individual monitoring and deck-to-deck dubbing for each. It also permits source monitoring during the dubbing process, OTHER USER-ORIENTED FEATURES Provided are: Tone Defeat Switch; 3-Step Audio Muting Swich; 2-Step Low) High Filters; Mode Switch; Meter Sen: tivity Switch, and Large, Self-lluminated Level Meters,SPECIFICATIONS ‘Min.
