Electrical features
The amplifiers feature high output capability
and extremely low self noise. Distant sound
sources, as well as very loud sound sources at
close range can therefore be recorded without
any problem.

Each amplifier has an active filter. It effectively
suppresses subsonic interference as caused by
wind or structure borne noise. At the same
time, the filter prevents the output transfor-
mers from overloading through very low fre-
quency energy.
