Phase Linear Model 5000

 The Phase Linear Model 5000 FM Tuner fully compliments our line of separate components both in appearance and philosophy.

Until now, separate component manufactures have put most of their design emphasis into reaching the theoretical limits of FM receiving. Few consumers, however, can actually benefit from these technical achievements simply because the broadcast itself is too mediocre. A cure for that problem is what we have added to our tuner.

The Phase Linear 5000 combines excellent receiving capabilities along with a unique linear expansion circuit which compensates for the problems associated with FM broadcast. Consequently, the 5000 FM Tuner delivers dynamic range and sonic quality audibly beyond that which has been available.

 Features:

Large slide rule dial;

Variable muting 2 µV to 100 µV;
