  • Notes
  • The Ravensbrook Stereo Amplifier Series 3 builds upon the success of its predecessors, the Series 1 and 2 amplifiers, offering several key improvements and new features:

    Power and Connectivity

    • Increased Output: Uprated to 20 Watts per channel
    • AC Outlet: New provision of an AC outlet facility

    Input and Output Options

    • Multiple Inputs: Disc, radio, and tape inputs provided
    • Versatile Disc Input: Four-disc sensitivities to accommodate a wide range of high-quality pickup cartridges, including those with very low output
    • Tape Connectivity: DIN socket for tape replay and record, duplicated at the rear of the chassis via a second DIN socket
    • Tape Monitoring: Possible with tape recorders having separate replay heads

    Advanced Controls

    • Volume Control: Close tolerance ganged volume control matched to 1 dB
    • Tone Controls: Wide-range bass and treble controls using a modified Baxendall circuit
    • Balance: Vernier balance control for precise stereo imaging
    • Filters: Switched high pass filter and a variable "slope" low pass filter

    Transistor technology

    • the amplifier uses driver transformers, which are quadrifilar wound, similar to those used in the Ravensbourne amp
    • Silicon transistors are used throughout.

    The Ravensbrook Series 3 represents a significant evolution in Rogers' amplifier lineup, offering improved power output, expanded connectivity options, and refined control features compared to its predecessors.
