A76 Revox Builds
the tuner of the future.
The
conventional design concepts for tuners are not satisfactory any more if one
wants to reach the optimum in freedom from distortion and signal interference.
Therefore, Revox have tossed overboard traditional ideas and by designing the
"third generation tuner" they have
a whole leap forward.
The
approach has been thoroughly
professional and without compromise. The input section features "dual
gate" field effect transistors and quadruple variable capacitor tuning,
while the IF-strip consists of a passive Gauss Filter, followed by an amplifier
which is made up entirely of integrated Circuits (bandwidth 5 MHz). delay-lines
are employed for demodulation without deteriorating the five megahertz
bandwidth. A76 khz oscillator runs phase-locked to the subcarrier and
supplies after binary scaling the
switching frequency to the stereo demodulator. Supplementary circuits permit
silent tuning and effect automatic stereo changeover, they triogger a visual
signal in th ecase of multipath reception and provide for th eindication of
signal strength, centre tuning and the presence of a Stereo modulated carrier.
To describe the distortion and noise free performance of this tuner is virtually impossible.
