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.

Stereo Receiver Features

Programme sensor so that 5 stations on both FM and LW can be preprogrammed. Using the pre-set markers, and the programme buttons, any of your favourite stations can be pre-set. When the programme sensor position is selected any pre-set station on FM or LW can be picked up as you move the tuning indicator
