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.

Optonica SM-5200 amplifier


Optonica SM-5200 Integrated Stereo Amplifier
The amplifier for the 5200 Series offers the type of circuitry and features usually found in the more sophisticated models. ITL/OTL/OCL (input transformerless/output transformerless/output capacitorless) power amp circuitry helps keep distortion to a minimum, while improving amplifier performance, even with the ample power rating of this unit. The SM-5200 is equipped with a 4-position speaker switch enabling a variety of listening arrangements with two speaker systems, a loudness switch for natural-sounding performance at low volume levels, a subsonic filter for extra audio clarity and mode switch for monaural as well as stereo reproduction. For extra ease, LEDs indicating the operating status of each pushbutton are provided on the front panel.
