Heath's patented ULTRA-LINEAR® circuit and efficient layout make the AA-81 easy to build and provide dependable trouble-free operation.

The price tag alone on this remarkable unit is enough to make it stand out from competitive amplifiers, but when you compare its features, the Heathkit AA-81 is unpatched for value. Heath's patented ULTRA-LINEAR circuit delivers maximum performance. Bias voltage and balance controls assure low distortion—even with unmatched output tubes. A built-in level control and AC switch provide extra convenience. The specially-designed output transformer delivers full rated power with plenty of margin. The easy assembly of the AA-81 is the result of excellent circuit layout and Heath's famous "check-by-step" instructions which assure successful home construction with factory-built performance.
