neutral  Tony M: It doesn't really mean 'matched' in that sense here, I'm afraid, Arnold.

  -> Don't forget that they "are calibrated as a matched set" ...
neutral  xxxmediamatrix: They are calibrated as 'a set', not as a 'matched set'. To form a 'matched set', the two components would have to be identical, which they are obviously not in this case since they perform different functions.

apparié


Explanation:

agree  xxxmediamatrix: Yes - brings back fond memories of testing OC35s to find matched pairs for class B audio amplifiers, in the days of our youth...

  -> Oh dear me yes! I think by my days we'd more or less moved on to 2N3055s, but the chore was the same! I used to repair big PA amps with 8 rather exotic output TRs, which all had to be matched as a set :-(
