Extras ▼

 

The CV3711 is an audio output pentode with a high mutual conductance, suggesting that full output can be obtained with a low input signal.
The commercial version from M-OV is the N78.
In class AB1 push pull a pair of valves can deliver 9 Watts at 4.5% distortion. If connected as triodes the pair can deliver 6.3 Watts at 1.6% distortion.
The KB/Z identifies this valve as being made to specification K1001 or K1006, the B denotes qualification by a UK authority and the Z identifies the maker as MO Valve Company, Hammersmith.
The anode with cooling fins for the control grid above the top mica.
The thin glass tube envelope is 18 mm in diameter, and excluding the B7G base pins, is 62 mm tall.
