12AU7/ECC82 Class A Resistance - Coupled Amplifier Two Sections in Cascade Supply Voltage 250 350 volts Total Current 1.66 2.33 mA Output Voltage [6] 15 25 volts (RMS) Gain 178 178 Total Distottion [7] 2 2 % [Schematic of two sections in cascade omitted from text file.] APPLICATION NOTES MICROPHONICS The tube can be used without special precautions against microphonic effect in amplifiers in which the input voltage is higher than 50 millivolts when the tube is mounted in the near vicinity of a 5 watt loud speaker with an acoustical efficiency of 5%. HUM The hum and noise level will be better than -60 db when the grid circuit impedance is less than 0.3 megohms (at 60 cps), the center tap of the heater is grounded and the cathode resistor is decoupled by a capacitor of at least 100 uuf. [6] Grid current = + 0.3 uA. [7] Approximatly proportional to output voltage
