What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Microcomputer-Controlled Quartz PLL Synthesizer FM/MW/LW Stereo Tuner
Optimum reception with maximum convenience are combined innthis blend of precision electronic systems and state-of-the-art. Component parts. Designed to eliminate error and drift, this advanced electronic tuner employs a quartz PLL synthesizer tuning system to ensure super-precise, super-stable reception under all conditions. This precision is backed by an electronic input attenuator, a dual-gate MOS FET front end, ceraamic IF filters and a quadrature detector. A microcomputer controls both the audio search and station memory tuning systems to provide automatic location of receivable stations and one-touch tuning of favourite stations. A remote control station selection system, digital frequency display and air check calibrator function facilitate optimum use of this advanced tuner.
