It is designed for service as an audio voltage amplifier or phase in- verter. The center tapped heater | of the Type 12AX7 permits oper ation on 12.6 or 6.3 volts, The 12AX7 is identical to the 6AX7 except for heater characteristics. ‘The 6AX7 employs a 600 Ma heater and controlled heater warm-up time for use in series ig television receivers.
