The operating voltage is from 5V to 80V. Please see the datasheet for more details.

As the power supply voltage and pin assignments are different between this product and a 12AX7, they cannot be used interchangeably.

0.7V and 17mA for each channel. Please see the datasheet for more details.

We decided to adopt the directly-heated type tube as it significantly reduces power consumption and also suppresses heat generation.

Yes, as the Nutube is a directly-heated type tube, it can be affected by vibrations. Suppressing the microphonic effect can be done more easily than with a conventional vacuum tube, as ‘Nutube’ does not generate heat.

We are also planning on offering accessories that can be used to suppress any microphonic effect.

This unique shape is a result of the product adopting Noritake Itron Corporation’s vacuum fluorescent display (“VFD”) technology. With the application of this technology, we have been able to achieve higher product quality and longer service life compared to conventional vacuum tubes.

Unfortunately we are unable to answer this question as it involves various patent issues.

The expected service life of the Nutube when used continuously is 30,000 hours. The term ‘expected service life’ means the number of hours for which the Nutube will likely be able to operate continuously under normal use.

It emits sound that is similar to the sound made a conventional vacuum tube. If you would like to learn more about the characteristics of Nutube, please refer to the datasheet provided. We will be also offering sample boards for evaluation purposes. If you are interested in obtaining them, please send your request using the inquiry form.

The manufacturing equipment that is currently used to produce traditional vacuum tubes for the company has been used for over fifty years. Therefore, the vacuum tubes that are being produced with this equipment contain many defective units as well as significant characteristic variations. They also consume a lot of power. So we decided to apply all the latest technologies that are available to us and developed ‘Nutube’ – a high quality and battery-operable vacuum tube that is energy-efficient and can be handled with ease – hoping that this novel vacuum tube would bring performance and satisfaction to more people.
