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.

McIntosh MA-6100 amplifier


The finest Pre-Amplifier / Power Amplifier combination
Outstanding versatility in selection of inputs and outputs for multiple tape recording and monitoring. You can even duplicate tapes from one recorder to another while listening to yet a different program source such as records or tuner

Main and Remote speaker switching from the front panel
Reproduces music accurtely with 0,2% distortion from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at full continuous 70 watts RMS per channel, both channels operating into 8 Ω
"Sentry Monitoring" of the output transistors is a McIntosh-patented electronic protection circuit that really protects.
Speciall McIntosh designed output electronic clamping circuit completely protects speakers from possible DC current damage.
Silicon Rectifier power supplies, including one electronically regulated, insure maximum stability on both steady state and transient program material
18,600 microfarads of filter capacity is used in the main positive and negative power supplies. This assures minimum impulse distortion and full power at the lowest frequencies
Fully Direct-Coupled, quasi-complementary output circuit for low distortion and long term durability.
