SOLID STATE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER Now. Sansui brings the
added professionalism of the solid state integrated amplifier within the
means of every stereo enthusiast with this new inexpensive compact,
the AU-lOl. Offering features and performance way out of proportion to
its size and its modest price tag, the 50 watt AU-lOl is an exceptionally
well-engineered unit that can add greatly to the pleasure of any dedicated
music buff. It has a wide 25 to 40,000Hz power bandwidth and limits
distortion to less than 0.8%. No other integrated amplifier in its price

range offers as much. The AU~101 is designed for exceptional ease of
operation and is complete with a full system of accessory circuits.
Sansuis painstaking engineering has seen to it that the AU-lOl has
overcome all the defects hitherto common to preamplifier/power am-
plifier combinations in this low price range. The AU-lOl is a integrated
amplifier that just about anybody can afford. And that few serious stereo
enthusiasts can afford to be without.

ALL-SILICON TRANSISTORS: The AU-101 is
a perfect example of what even a low-cost inte-
grated amplifier can sound like if it is given
low-noise. stable silicon transistors in all its am-
plifier stages.

LOW-NOISE PREAMPLIFIER SECTION: The
preamplifier section of the AU-lOl makes use
of only carefully selected low~noise silicon
transistors for minimized distortion and an ex-
ceptional SIN ratio. as well as a very wide
dynamic range. Their effectiveness is evident
in the fine-grained, linear sound that the unit
reproduces.

SPECIFICATIONS

SEMI-COMPLEMENTARY lTL-OTL CIRCUIT:
The power amplifier section adopts a semi-
complementary Darlington ITL (input-trans-
former-Iess)-OTL (outputtransformer-less) de-
sign. It affords exceptional output characteris-
tics. such as music power output of 50 watts
(IHF). continuous output of 18 watts per
channel. distortion factor of less than 0.8% and
power bandwidth of 25 to 40.000Hz.

FULL TRANSISTOR PROTECTION: The all-
important power transistors are very carefully
protected in the AU-lOl. Besides the fact that
it employs power transistors with superior anti-
breakdown capabilities, the unit adopts a circuit
system that minimizes the possibility of damage
to them. There are also special "power transis-
tor protection fuses" to doubly ensure their
safety'

RATIONAL. ADJUSTMENT-FREE CIRCUITRY:
The AU-lOl consists of a number of printed
circuit boards employing carefully selected
quality parts. Rationally laid out and easy to
service, these printed circuit boards minimize
the length of wires and cords used in the unit
and give the unit exceptional performance
stability.

MICROPHONE JACK: A microphone jack is
provided on the front panel to permit the use
of a microphone for live recording or public
address usage.

SPEAKER ON/OFF SWITCH: A cor lent
speaker ON/OFF switch permits the operator to
silence the speaker system in the event he
wants to employ a headphone set to enjoy
something privately or avoid disturbing others.

SOPHISTICATED STYLING: The AU-lOl ex-
hibits a sophisticated. expensive appearance
any way you look at it, thanks to the use of an
expensive extruded aluminum black front panel
and walnut grained side panels.

OTHER FEATURES: The AU-101 has a com-
plete system of accessory circuits, including:
1) Loudness Control to compensate for the
apparent loss of bass and treble notes when
the volume is lowered; 2) DIN connector ter-
minal on the front panel to simplify the nec-
tlon of a tape recorder (deck) for both recording
and playback; 3) Direct Tape Monitor circuit to
add to the fun of tape recording: 4) Headphone
jack for private listening; 5) Two AC outlets on
the rear panel, one of which is controlled by the
frontpanel POWER switch; 6) Line voltage
changeover circuit to permits selectinr iy of
four voltages In supplying power to the .«it.
