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.

Pioneer SX-1500TD

 A Powerful Receiver of Tremendous power and Fidelity, Beautifully Packaged in the Most Up-to Date Design.
The SX-1500TD features highly advanced circuitry. An FET frong and ensures extremely sensitive FM reception. There are four IC's in the IF section for excellent selectivity, and a monolithic IC in the multiplex section for improved separation. Silicon transistors ensure low-noise music power of a tremendous 180 watts. In addition, a fine dynamic microphone comes with the SX-1500TD for microphone mixing. You can connect up to three different stereo loudspeaker systems. Uniquely attractive, with its silver and black contrast and polished rosewood end-pieces.

 Center Channel Output
The SX-1500TD has a center channel output on the rear panel, providing the composite signal (L+R) for a 3-D (three-dimensional) system, when you connect another amplifier to the center channel output.  In addition, stereo music can be recorded into a monophonic tape recorder with this output which is controlled by the preamplifier section of the SX-1500TD.
 Phono Inputs
The SX-1500TD has two sets of phono inputs, enabling you to compare cartridges. Phono 1 is for magnetic and ceramic cartridges, and Phono 2 is for magnetic cartridges.

AC Outlets
There are three AC outlets for turntables and tape decks used with the receiver, a switched AC outlet for 230 VA and two unswitched AC outlets for 230 VA.
