FEATURES

The TA-AX410 integrated stereo amplifier incorporates a
number of technical breakthroughs in circuit design to
take full advantage of new digital sources such as the
CD (compact disc), with a power output of 50 + 50 watts
(20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.008% THD).

MAJOR DESIGN ELEMENTS AND CIRCUIT
FEATURES

ASP (Audio Signal Processor) lC
stage

The Audio Signal Processor IC developed by Sony can
digitally control the tone, filter and volume settings. The
ASP IC also permits electronic program source selec-
tion. Mechanical controls and switches have been prac-
tically eliminated from the front panel. In combination
with a microcomputer and a non-volatile memory IC, the
ASP IC offers greater flexibility - an Acoustic Func-
tion, an ability to store and recall two sets of tonal
adjustments.

in the preamplifier

Legato linear power amplifier stage

The operation of the power amplifier stage is stable
without any observable distortion up through the higher
frequencies. We call this power amp Legato Linear"
because its switching distortion is very low and its out-
put waveform smooth.

Simple, straight signal path layout

The ASP lC layout near the input and output terminals
minimize wiring losses and allow low distortion ope-
ration.
