SRS-4170

Stax SR-407

The first SR-Λ (lambda) series was introduced 30 years ago, and now the SR-407 have adopted the same sounding body (sound element) as that of the top model SR-507.

The conventional sound element has employed simplest structure so that as wide film diaphragm area as possible can be effectively used in comparison with its external size. Taking advantage of the conventional feature, the new sound element has been packaged in a tough resin case. Thus the new sound element has realized cleaner sound and better reliability.

NEW THIN-FILM "SUPER ENGINEERING PLASTICS" MATERIAL
New thin film material "Super Engineering Plastics" almost free from stretch through temperature or humidity has been adopted, enabling both the rich, deep low frequency and the delicate high-frequency sound.

HIGH QUALITY PARTS AND SOUND
Carefully selected high-quality components of audio grade are employed for the main circuit and greatly improved the tone quality.  High-quality relays are placed close to the input terminal to realize the shortest signal path, and the mutual interference between equipments is eliminated by switching the hot / cold side of the signal simultaneously.  Also the circuit constant has been looked over again in detail.

BALANCED INPUT
The balanced input via XLR terminal along with the custom-made double axis 4-gang volume controller enabled a full-balanced operation from input to sound element drive.

CLASS A AMPLIFICATION
Class-A all-stage DC amplifier circuit configuration eliminated coupling capacitors throughout the signal path. High-voltage dual triode 6FQ7 / 6CG7 are employed in the output stage, and the input stage features a simple two-stage amplification using low noise FET that are hand selected.

3 PAIRS OF INPUT TERMINALS 
One stereo XLR input is equipped to connect directly to the XLR balanced output of a high-class CD/SACD player. Also, two pairs of RCA inputs enable the unit to switch between connected source equipments. One of the two RCA inputs has a bypassing output that, for example, can be connected to your integrated amplifier for flexible system-up.
