Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC)

The circuit handling low-level and high-level signals have been divided

into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these signals on

each other are held to an absolute minimum. This new chassis design in

the DRA-685 is called the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC).

Signals for output are cleaner than before, allowing them to be repro-

duced with even greater fidelity and clarity.
