Although the 123 is an AC amplifier, the output is taken directly from | |||
the plate of one of the tubes, without an output coupling (DC block) | |||
capacitor. So the output signal rides on about 15 volts of DC. | |||
The intended use of the 123 is as a preamplifier for other | |||
instrumentation such as an oscilloscope, and the oscilloscope's | |||
input coupling can simply be set to "AC". | |||
