![]() ![]() Like most with this base it had a metal, rather than glass, envelope. MOV introduced their version, the, a year later. So many applications were found for the 6L6 that a complete list would be impossible to assemble. It replaced the use of power triodes in public-address amplifiers almost overnight. ![]() RCA subsequently had enormous success with the 6L6. This proved to be a poor business decision on MOV's part. Because MOV's engineers did not feel the kinkless tetrode could be successfully mass-produced, they licensed the design to RCA. Because this overall design eliminated the 'tetrode kink' (negative resistance) in the lower parts of the tetrode's voltage-current characteristic curves, which sometimes caused tetrode to become unstable, MOV (, a subsidiary of jointly owned with ) marketed this tube family under the sobriquet 'KT', meaning 'kinkless tetrode'. The beam tetrode design was also undertaken to avoid the patents which the giant firm held on power in Europe. ![]()
