  Tetrode vs. Triode
At lower volume levels, and with efficient speakers, the sound of the triode mode offers a level of delicacy, liquidity, and sweetness to vocals, chamber and jazz instrumental quartets and solo instruments with 3-D imaging in the mid-range that will get you even closer to the real event.
Tetrode mode offers the detail, soundstage width and depth, and weight to the music that on large-scale orchestral or big band will transport you to the concert hall with all the visceral power and detail rendition of your favorite music.
A changeover switch is provided on the back of the VTL amplifiers to make changing between the two modes a breeze - just power down the amplifiers, flip the switch to the desired mode, and power the amplifiers up again.

  Tetrode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first grid of a tetrode is the "control grid", because the voltage applied to it causes the plate current to vary.
The tetrode tube was developed by Dr. Walter H. Schottky of Siemens and Halske GMBH in Germany during World War I. Thousands of variations of the tetrode design, as well as its later development the pentode, have been manufactured since then.
A tetrode is a group of wire bundles used in electrophysiological studies in the neurosciences to record extracellular field potentials from nervous tissue, e.g.

Tetrode's large altarpieces for Delft were destroyed during the iconoclasm of 1573, probably prompting his move to Cologne, where he attracted the attention of another printmaker, Adriaen de Weerdt.
As Goddard elaborates, the question of Goltzius's interest in Tetrode's sculpture becomes more interesting in the context of the so-called Haarlem Academy, for studies after plaster casts, and, indeed, sculptural models were a main avenue of access to antiquity for the artists of Haarlem.
Goltzius's study of Tetrode is more than just a case of artistic influence or attraction but rather relates to the vogue for antiquity and the nature of studio practice around the turn of the seventeenth century.

Tetrode's talent as a modeler in wax provided the link between the monumental marbles that he copied and restored and his original designs for bronze sculpture.
Tetrode also depended on wax models as guides to restoring antiquities, for it was much easier to discern how to incorporate a missing head or limbs onto an antique fragment by working out the problem three dimensionally, in one's hands, using malleable wax.
Tetrode's work inspired the great interest in small bronzes in the Italian manner that was to last for well over a century in the Netherlands.

 Junction Tetrode Transistor
The junction tetrode transistor is a close relative of the junction transistor recently described in a RECORD article+ by M. Sparks.
In the junction tetrode shown in Figure 2(d), internal feedback is very greatly reduced by making two connections to the p-layer and by applying a few volts of bias between the two.
The most significant electrical property of tetrode transistors is their ability to amplify broadband signals and to operate at very high frequencies.

 Stereophile: Manley Laboratories 250 Neo-Classic monoblock power amplifier
With both balanced and unbalanced inputs and an output stage capable of operating in both tetrode and triode modes, the Manley 250 Neo-Classic is four amplifiers in one chassis and thus represents four times as much labor in the measuring lab.
The level is higher in triode mode than in tetrode, but both modes are respectively low into impedances of 4 ohms and higher, at least between the midbass and the top audio octave.
There is a small rise in tetrode distortion in the low bass—unusually, this is greatest into 16 ohms—and a greater low-frequency rise in triode mode.

In practice, making a tetrode is akin to building a ship in a bottle; it is very delicate work and it is remarkably easy to make a mistake and ruin the previous three hours worth of work.
The tetrode will be wound, and the winding will stop when the end of the tape is reached.
Remove the tetrode from the solution and use the green wire and the orange wire that is connected to the vial.

 United Press International - Entertainment(p) - Frick Collection shows rare Tetrode bronze
It was cast like most other Tetrodes in a reusable mold that made multiple versions possible, some even cast by later artists, and is displayed for the first time with two other important variants, one loaned by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the other by the Los Angeles County Art Museum.
When Tetrode returned to his native Netherlands in 1567, the small but animated bronzes he brought with him touched off a furor of collecting statuettes in the Italian style that lasted for nearly a century, then faded away so that Tetrode's name was known only to art specialists.
Tetrode statuettes also influenced another later artist, Hendrick Goltzius, a 17th century Dutchman famed for his engravings of classical subjects including a number of studies of Hercules.

Though sorting of spikes in tetrode recordings is generally more reliable than that of traditional single-electrode recordings [1], the problem of assigning spikes to different neurons remains complicated and challenging.
Our observations [2] show that noise in tetrode recordings in the cat visual cortex and in the LGN is highly correlated across channels (typical cross-channel correlation coefficient lies in the range of 0.7-0.95).
Cross-channel correlation coefficients within the same tetrode appeared to be relatively high: 0.8-0.92 (as expected), while the coefficients of correlation across channels of different tetrodes were significantly smaller: 0.47-0.51.

Together, the Tetrode and Goltzius exhibitions formed an intensive course in Dutch Mannerism-the high style art of the late Renaissance -with emphasis on the connections between Netherlandish artists of the period and their Italian colleagues, a relationship that has been considerably rethought during the past two decades.
Many of the exhibited bronzes were reductions of famous works from antiquity, made to satisfy the appetites of eager collectors, such as the surviving portions of an astonishing ensemble commissioned by the Count of Pitigliano.

As the name suggests, the tetrode tube contained four elements: cathode (with the implicit filament, or "heater"), grid, plate, and a new element called the screen.
Similar in construction to the grid, the screen was a wire mesh or coil positioned between the grid and plate, connected to a source of positive DC potential (with respect to the cathode, as usual) equal to a fraction of the plate voltage.
Two different strategies were developed to address this problem of the tetrode tube: beam power tubes and pentodes.

 Fall Exhibition at the Clark Presents Compelling New Evidence of the Connection between Goltzius and Tetrode
A native of Delft, Tetrode spent time in Italy and in the 1560s introduced Dutch collectors to the genre of small bronze statuettes then fashionable in Italy.
The theory that Goltzius saw—perhaps even owned—some of Tetrode's sculptures and used them as sources for his prints was first put forth in the 1970s.
Another theory is that Goltzius and Tetrode encountered one another while they were both in Cologne in the 1550s.

All beam tetrodes are a bit nonlinear in their basic characteristics.
Unlike the plain tetrode use, there is not any benefit in using a lower anode supply voltage because of the headroom restriction of the Eg = 0V character.
Since the miller input capacitance is lowest in beam tetrode mode, the output tubes are very easily driven at high frequencies, so little drive current is required in the driver amp.

 Class A, AB & C Operation of Tetrode Single-Ended RF Amplifiers
However, if the anode voltage falls much lower than the screen then anode current will be diverted to the screen and the screen's maximum power rating may be exceeded.
Beam tetrodes are better than pentodes in this respect and the instantaneous anode voltage may be allowed to fall to 50% or less of the DC screen volts.
For a given tube and set of conditions, the maximum instantaneous control grid voltage sets the peak cathode current.
