JVC 4VN-880 Integrated 2/4 Channel Quadrophonic Amplifier

The 4VN-880 integrated amplifier features a 3 stage direct coupled equaliser circuit and NF type tone control.

The use of BTL connection enables the amplifier to double its power when it is used as a 2-channel amplifier.

In the first stage of the main amplifier there is a phase reversing circuit which reverses the phases of the input signals.

The original input signals go to the CH-1 and CH-3 amplifiers and the reversed phase signals go to the CH-2 and CH-4 amplifiers.

At output the signals are composed giving an output theoretically 4 times greater than in 4-channel playback.
