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.

  1. This was our family's first stereo, acquired in 1967. 140w, thd 1%, we got it along with AR-1 speakers. It worked very well but eventually the selector switch went bad (caps were okay) in the 1980's. I believe it was one of the first transistorized am/fm stereo receivers, that's why my dad got it, i believe the price was about $350 in 1967.
