Daniels' voltage Attlee amplifier circuit which I have used on sev- eral occasions. Mr. Daniels is currently my STUDIO MICROPHONES associate, and has provided many variations of this circuit for specific applications. The gain that can be achieved is consider- ably greater than the "high hundreds"; at P.A. PRICES! using a 6SH7 and a 6SF5, a gain of 6000 is readily obtained. Among other things, the circuit is well adapted for use in negative feedback circuits because of its favorable phase -shaft char- acteristic. It can be changed readily to pro- vide push-pull output and the single phase 111 inversion characteristics may be useful in pulse CLOSE TALKING and DISTANT PICK-UP certain techniques. at John W.
