Dynaco PAT-4

 


 


Dynaco's specifications:
Frequency Response:
High level inputs: ±0,5 dB from 10 Hz to 100 KHz
Low level inputs: ±1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 KHz

Distortion at rated 2 volt output:
THD less than 0,05% (-66 dB) 20 Hz to 20 KHz
IM less than 0,05%  (-66 dB) with any combination of test frequencies

Hum and Noise:
Phono: 70 dB below a 10 mV reference signal
Line: 85 dB below a 0,5 volt signal

Modification in order to improve performance: (added 2007-05-13)
Replace Q3 with BC549C
Replace Q4 with BC141
Replace all resistors > 47 k with metal film type
After this, THD is about 6 dB lower, no other specs are changed.
