A simple yet very well-built unit. This is an amplifier that was never imported into the West. It was produced exclusively for the Japanese market, featuring a champagne finish with a brushed aluminium front panel, as seen on this model. This particular unit has been adapted to operate on the European 230V mains supply. In practical terms, it is essentially an A 307R with a different colour scheme but identical specifications. It features two separate outputs for two distinct pairs of speakers, selectable from the front panel, along with tone control, balance adjustment and a loudness control. These controls are disabled in ‘direct’ mode for a sound closer to the original. The inputs include connections for 3 line sources (CD, Tuner and Line), a Phono input for a turntable and two Tape inputs/outputs. The Tape 2 (monitor) source can also be used to connect an effect such as an equaliser or similar, which is activated simply by pressing the Tape 2 button. Below are the specifications as stated in the user manual.

Power MOS Amplifier Pioneer now introduces amplifier circuits featuring HEX power MOSFET components integrated into compact, high-performance units. Combined with Pioneer’s high-range linear circuit technology, this helps reduce power consumption whilst maintaining the power output of the models in question.
In terms of performance, this contributes to flat noise reduction characteristics across the entire audio spectrum and improved power linearity.
