About Nutube

Nutube is a new vacuum tube developed by KORG INC. and Noritake Itron Corporation and that utilizes technology from vacuum fluorescent displays. As with conventional vacuum tubes, the Nutube is con- structed with an anode, grid and filament, and operates as a complete triode tube. Furthermore, it generates the response and same rich harmonic characteristics of conven tional vacuum tubes. If a strong impact is applied to this unit, noise at the high- frequency range may be heard from the speakers, headphones, etc. This is due to the structure of the Nutube; it is not a malfunction.
