A75 Series 2
Amplifier

A truly British product of legendary Rogers reliability
featuring: -

Output power of 45 + 45 w continuous sine wave
power 30 Hz - 40 KHz both channels driven into 8
ohm loads.

Distortion less than 0.08% at I KHz at any power
below clipping both channels driven into 8 ohm
loads

FaCilities for cassette and open reel recorders wrth
dubbing and transfer faCilities.

Selection of either or both of two pairs of stereo
loudspeakers coupled with headphone facilities.
DC. Coupled loudspeaker outputs for superior bass
reproduction.

Comprehensrve variable slope filtering of selectable
frequency - acknowledged as the only useful
method of filter control.

Three swuched A.C. mains outlets usmg approved
shuttered Eurosocket connectors.

The ideal amplifier for accurate reproduction in
coniunction With the Rogers BBC desrgn derived
loudspeakers.
