Product Goals
Because the SA-200 amplifier has no volume control, one cannot connect a CD player or other music source that does not have its own volume control.
So the first goal of the preamplifier was to provide a volume control and mute function. In addition, balance, bass and treble adjustments would be useful add-ons to help correct any listening room challenges, or speaker nuances.
The second goal was to include remote control (so one would not have to get out of their seat to change any audio parameter). In fact, the only control of the PA-100 is via remote control. Its only physical control button is the on/off switch.
