12AX7 / ECC83

Application notes

MICROPHONICS

The tube can be used without special precautions against microphonic effect in amplifiers in which the input voltage is higher than 50 millivolts when the tube is mounted 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 is less than 0.5 megohms (at 60 cps), the center tap of the heater is grounded and the cathode resistor is decoupled by a capacitor of at least 100 uf.

 

Supply Voltage	250	350 volts
Cathode Resistance	1200	820 ohms
Total Current	1.08	1.70 mA
Output Voltage6 (RMS)	35	45 volts
Voltage Gain	58	62
Percent Distortion7	5.5	3.5 %

⁶ E_o at grid current starting point.

⁷ The total harmonic distortion is approximately proportional to the output voltage.
