The Quad 34
provides the serious music listener with ererything necessary for thr full
enjoyment of music from radio, disc, tape and compact disc and continues a
process of evolution which began more than thirty years ago with the original
Quad control unit.
Inputs are
selected by bushbutton controlled solid state switches and all inputs are fully
isolated so that one can switch from one to the other without turning down the
volume control or switching off unwanted sources.
Filters,
selected by pushbutton, provide optimum characteristics to remove distortions
inherent in the record playing system and leave more of the music.
The Tilt
control changes the programme balance to compensate for the difference between
the reverbration of the actual listening room and the recording engineer's
concepts. The tilt control is a highly sophisticated eight pole filter that is
smooth in operation with no abrupt changes of response and no unwanted
colouration.
The Bass
control fulfils one of two functions: as an equaliser for use with small
loudspeakers in the lift mode when it provides smooth progressive bass boost to
compensate for the low frequency roll-off of small enclosures, and as
correction for low frequency exaggeration due to floor or corner placement, in
the step mode.
In short,
the Quad 34 provides correct input matching and compensation for programme and room effects with excellent ergonomics,
everything necessary to obtain enjoyment from the widest possible variety of
programme. The Quad 34 also incorporates those intangibles which existing Quad
owners take for granted but can come as something of a pleasant surprise to
those who have not dealt with a serious but friendly and helpful manufacturer
before, intangibles which make ownership of Quad a pleasure which improves with
time.
