12AX7 / ECC83

Application notes

MICROPHONICS

The tube can be used without special precautions against microphonic effect inamplifiers in which the input voltage is higher than 50 millivolts when the tube ismounted in the near vicinity of a 5 watt loud speaker with an acoustical efficiency of 5%.

HUM

The hum and noise level will be better than - 60 db when the grid circuit impedance isless than 0.5 megohms (at 60 cps), the center tap of the heater is grounded and thecathode resistor is decoupled by a capacitor of at least 100 uf.
