An advanced
professional AM/FM stereo tuner, with unique P.L.L. MPX circuit, dual-gate MOS
type FETs in the FM front end, and outstanding performance.
The TX-9100
is Pioneer's finest tuner, a stereo achievement designed to significantly
reduce the distance between your music listening room and broadcast stations.
Offering what is certainly one of the finest FM sensitivity ratings ever
built-in to a tuner, the TX-9100 is an incomparable blend of solid state
circuitry and design, the most advanced unit of its kind available today at any
price.
The TX-9100
employs a 5-gang variable capacitor and low-noise dual-gate MOS-type FETs in
its FM front end, resulting in a 1,5 µV (IHF) sensitivity, Pioneer has employed
"phase-linear" ceramic filters in the IF section, coupled with a
6-stage limiter by monolithic Ics with differential amplifiers. All of this
circuitry results in a 90 dB (IHF) selectivity charactereistic, as well as
improved phase characteristics and signal-to-noise ratio of 75 dB. Capture
ratio is also distinctive, measured at 1 dB (IHF).
Performance
characteristics aside, the TX-91000 is a superb example of the application of
advanced circuitry to music enjoyment. Its new-dimensional PLL (Phase Lock
Loop) multiplex-circuit improves the multiplex function considerably and is
based on an entirely new principle. Since the coils and capacitors of the
conventional 19 kHz and 38 kHz resonance circuits is immensely durable,
reliability and stability are assured. There is also a special PNS (Pulse Noise
Suppressor) built-in to the TX-9100 that cancels irritating pulse noise such as
automobile or motorcycle ignition noise. But more than any one thing, excellent
sensitivity stands together with excellent rejection characteristics. And what
this means is the finest performance ever offered by a tuner, under all common,
and some uncommon, operating circumstances.
