Kenwood KA-3006
Documentation on the Kenwood KA-3006 is thin. The amplifier shows up in Russian-language classified listings and a single video title. No service manual, period review or manufacturer spec sheet has surfaced in the usual archives. What we know comes almost entirely from seller descriptions of surviving units.
The KA-3006 is a stereo integrated amplifier sold under the Trio/Kenwood name, the dual branding common on export models of the era. One listing describes it as a "vintage amplifier" rated at 60 watts, with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 30 kHz. The same seller says the full specifications were photographed in the listing itself, which suggests the original back panel or manual carried more detail than what survives online.
A seller on a Russian classified site went further, describing "velvety natural sound determined by round output metal transistors" and praising a "luxurious tone compensator." The same listing notes that "the equalizer block does not turn the phase." That is a stated limitation of the unit, though it is unclear whether it is a design characteristic or a fault of that particular example. The seller claims full maintenance had been performed, and the unit was in excellent condition.
Beyond these listings, almost nothing is recorded. No production years, original price, dimensions, or input/output specifications have been confirmed. The KA-3006 appears to have sat somewhere in the middle of Kenwood's KA series, but without corroborating documentation its exact place in the lineup is speculative.
Known facts, such as they are:
- Stereo integrated amplifier, marketed as Trio/Kenwood
- Rated at 60 watts output
- Frequency response: 20 Hz – 30 kHz (per one listing)
- Described by owners as having "velvety natural sound" with a notable tone compensator

If you own a KA-3006 and have the manual or measured specifications, the Archive would welcome the details.
