6N1P
Encyclopedia
The 6N1P is a Russia
n-made miniature 9-pin medium gain double triode
vacuum tube
intended for use as a line audio amplifier and cathode driver.
Basic data:
The 6N1P has similar ratings to the 6DJ8
and in the past was sometimes rebranded as such, however differences between the two types (the 6N1P requires double the filament current and has only one third the S value) mean they are not directly interchangeable.
The S is about 4.35 ma/V , the 6DJ8/ECC88 has a S of 12.5 ma/V and a gain of 33 and a lower internal resistance. The curves of the 6DJ8 have a better linearity too. It is inaccurate to say that these two tubes are identical.
The closest western equivalent to the 6N1P is the well known 6BQ7A.
A ruggedized/extended ratings version of the tube is designated 6N1P-EV
It has currently found a use as a driver tube in hi-fi tube amplifiers (such as Audio Research models VS55 and VS110) because of its excellent low distortion and low noise characteristics. The tube is manufactured by the "Voshod" plant in Kaluga
, Russia
(see http://www.ominous-valve.com/russtube.html) and is distributed in the West under the Sovtek
and Svetlana
brand names.

Triode
A triode is an electronic amplification device having three active electrodes. The term most commonly applies to a vacuum tube with three elements: the filament or cathode, the grid, and the plate or anode. The triode vacuum tube was the first electronic amplification device...
