The new I lne of' DYNACO output Iron~f.c:lrfnen lneorpcrotes I he fint basic advance in output mmsformer design since the tnfroducucn of interleaved windings.

Most better grade sronsformers can deliver a recsonc ble 0 mount of power In the middle of the nudlo bend. Unfortvnctelv however, in most units the. distortion at' high levels increcse shorplv at the ends of the bond.
