A DC amplifier that provides
amplification down to zero frequencg
without any phase shift. independent

power supplies for low transient
crosstalk distortion, and outstanding
signal to noise ratio of 85dB for
2.5mV input should make the KA-8100
the best performing integrated amplifier
available todag at any standard.

The DC power amplifier, first to be incorporated

in an integrated amplifier by Kenwood engineers,

has now been accepted as the ultimate in ampli-
fication of the audio signal. This amplifier
provides gain to zero frequency as well as signal
amplification down to zero frequency without
any phase shift. Independent power supplies are
incorporated to eliminate Dynamic Crosstalk
distortion, a phenomenon first exposed by
Kenwood engineers. In addition, there is a further
separate power supply to the preamplifier stage
which maintains the high level of sound quality.
Output power is rated at a minimum of 75 watts

per channel RMS, driven into 8 ohms through
20Hz to 20,000Hz. Total harmonic distortion over
the whole range is held to a very low 0.03%.
Another indication of Kenwoods superior audio
technology is the extremely high signal to

noise ratio of 85dB (91dB 5mV, 97dB 10mV)-
a reminder that the KA-8100 is designed with
the ultimate criterion of reproducing sound with
the least possible noise or distortion. Other key
design elements include an attenuator type
Volume control, a Gain control and a specially con-
toured loudness control, all carefully designed to
provide you with high tonal quality and flexibility.
