Kenwood KA-7100 & KT-7500, 70's Power Couple

JVCKENWOOD Corporation is a leading developer and manufacturer of consumer electronics and communications equipment. Founded in the United States in 1961, JVCKENWOOD USA is the largest sales subsidiary of JVCKENWOOD Corporation of Japan and is recognized by consumers and industry professionals for providing products known for quality, performance, and value.

JVCKENWOOD USA has a reputation for bringing important new products to the consumer electronics market. The company built the first audio/video amplifier for home theater back in 1981. JVCKENWOOD also created the first anti-theft car cassette deck that could be slid out of the dash; the first with an automatic broadcast sensor system and automatic noise reduction; the first with 24 presets; and the first polypropylene speaker cones. Over the years, JVCKENWOOD engineers have invented dozens of new technologies later copied by others.

The development of the DC power amplifier can be counted as one of Kenwood's most significant engineering successes, because it provides an almost perfect linear frequency response that starts virtually from 0Hz. What this means is that the signal amplified by this KT-7100 has effectively the same waveform as that at the input terminals. The amplifier maintains extremely low distortion right down to the ultra-low frequency range. With excellent phase and transient characteristics - the response in actual conditions of musical reproduction - the sound that you hear is perfectly natural.

The direct-coupled amplifier consists of a three-stage differential circuit (with a dual-gate FET in the first stage) and our power amplifier circuitry, assuring ample, highly stable, effective power output. To safeguard all circuits, and your precious speakers, there's a built-in limiter protection circuit and protection relays.

With phase and transient distortion both at negligible levels, the Kenwood KA-7100 provides a refreshing clarity and roundness of sound even at high volume levels.
