About the C-200
The C-200 is a stereo control amplifier (preamplifier) introduced in August 1973, when the company operated under the name Kensonic. Its design uses direct-coupled, complementary push-pull circuitry and separate positive and negative power supplies. It provides phono equalizer inputs, microphone and line-level inputs, tone controls, filters, tape connections, and main, recording, headphone, and mono outputs.
