Onkyo Integra T-9090 II

 Onkyo Integra T-9090 II Computer-Controlled FM Tuner

The Integra Series Sound

Onkyo’s Integra series of hi-fi components is dedicated to a simple yet elusive goal; the accurate recreation of the full sonic impact of a live performance with all its immediacy and excitement.

The T-9090II epitomizes this dedication. A worthy addition to integra line, this FM-only tuner sets a new world standard in FM reception and operating convenience. Nothing less would be enough; nothing less would be Integra.

Computer-Controlled Five-Mode APR (Automatic Precision Reception) System

The five-mode APR system in the T-9090II monitors the quality of the FM broadcast being received and automatically sets a total of five reception modes (antenna [A/B], RF mode [DX/local], IF bandwidth [wide/narrow/S-narrow], hi-blend [on/off] and mode [stereo/mono]. APR provides optimum FM quality with computer controlled accuracy and convenience. All modes can be changed either manually or by remote control if necessary. You can even preset them in memory.

 High Sensitivity and Selectivity

The T9090II’s reception of weak FM stations, whether over the air or cable, is outstanding; 50 dB quieting sensitivity is a remarkable 0,8 µV. Selectivity has also been substantially improved over the previous version, for clear reception of weak stations even if powerful local channels broadcast on adjacent frequencies. The selectivity specification of 80 dB, adjacent channel, ±300 kHz sets a new standard in FM tuner performance.

SFR (Sonic Noise Filtering Reception) Anti-Microphonic Circuit

Though known for their low distortion. Synthesizer tuners are extremely sensitive to mechanical vibrations. If sound pressure from the speakers causes the chassis to vibrate, these vibrations can in turn be translated into distortion-causing electrical voltages. If these spurious elements find their way into the music signal; the tuner will sound distorted and unmusical. This phenomenon is known as the microphonic effect. Onkyo’s SFR system uses electrical means to fight microphonic interference at its source; the synthesizer section. This innovative technology greatly contributes to the astonishing sonic purity and naturalness of the T-9090II.

 Top Quality Construction

Onkyo’s unwillingness to compromise on quality is no where more evident than in the solid construction of the T-9090II. This tuner is built to last, from the copper front end shielded case, pure copper bus ground lines (five in all) to the shielded casings for the digital and power supply blocks. In addition, the chassis of the T-9090II is specially designed to prevent microphony, incorporating a damping steel base panel to keep mechanical vibrations to a minimum.
