Description

Special for microphone amplifiers. Gm=2.8mA/V. Amp Factor=25, Z=9k, Va<150.

Designed as a replacement for the A537

The valve is not fitted with the usual four-pin base; instead, the base carries four contacts which press against tongues in the special-holder Ct4. Some saving in space is thus obtained, and this is accentuated by the small dimensions of the glass bulb.
