CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
SCHEMATIC CONVENTIONS
The 3BX III is a stereo unit, with two independent, identical signal
paths. We will refer here to the left channel only (channel 1). Almost
all of its components are identified by designations ending in L (e.g.,
C705L, R708L); the right channel’s component designations generally end
in R; and components common to the channels generally end in numbers
(e.g., C803, R801). Furthermore, components are coded according to their
function within the system. The 700 series indicates the signal path or
detector path (the detector section is common to both channels, so 700
components ending in a number are in this area, while those ending in L
or R are in the signal path). The 800 series indicates the power supply.
Finally, the L## series indicates the LED display (e.g., RL21, UL05).
SIGNAL PATH
Refer to Fig. 1, a block diagram of the signal path (note that L, R
suffixes are not shown and that test points [TPs] are for both channels,
left first.) Audio input signals first are buffered by 1/2-U701L and its
associated circuitry. The output of 1/2-U701L is TP1 (TP2, right
channel). The signal there should be identical to that at the input
except for a small attenuation (-0.83 dB) and a roll-off at 175 kHz.
