Overview

The Audionet ‘PAM’ is designed in reference to the principles of the
Audionet amplifier technology to use their advantages. In the following
you will find listed the design features of the ‘PAM’.

The base of the unit is the 2mm steel chassis to protect the circuitry and
electronic components from high frequency electromagnetic fields.

The deemphasis of the music signal pressed into vinyl is done by a dual­stage RIAA deemphasis circuit using discrete built Audionet operational
amplifier modules in SMD technique (surface mounted device).

By using the same techniques of Audionet's reference line it is possible to
keep the signal paths clear of quality reducing components like capaci­tors, switches or integrated operational amplifiers.

The ‘PAM’ offers user definable features for adjusting to any pick-up
(MC,MM) without opening the unit.

Furthermore ‘PAM` is equipped with bias current free FET inputs that do
not influence the connected pick-up. The driver stage of the ‘PAM’ is
built in CLASS-A technique and thanks to the servo circuits has DC volt­age free outputs.

The complete design makes use of highest quality components (mica ca­pacitors in the feedback loop, miniature relays with gold plated contacts,
metal layer resistors with low temperature coefficient and 1% precision
etc.).

The built in protection circuit will quickly cut off the output signal in any
case of mains failure to prevent any noise getting to the loudspeakers.
