Circuit Description — Type B
Output Cathode Followers
Output cathode followers are used to drive the capaci
tance o f the interconnecting plug and main-amplifier input
circuit. The cathode follower circuit is modified by resistors
in the plate circuits and by capacitors cross-connected from
the plates to the opposite cathodes. This modification im
proves the high-frequency balance of the plug-in unit.
The H.F. PEAKING control, R3872 (S/N 3301-up) varies the
current in the cathode followers. This changes the imped
ance at the cathodes and changes the effect of the series
peaking coils, L3842 and L3942 (L4512 and L4562 S /N 101-
3300), tied to these cathodes.
