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.

Yamaha TC-720 deck


TC-720 - the 3-head deck for the creative recordist
If you like to get involved with your tape recording, this is the deck for you. The bias rotary control and built-in pink noise generator allow you to fine-adjust the deck's high frequency response to best suit the particular tape you are using. The Rec Level ADJ controls and Rec Cal switch allow you to further adjust the recording sensitivity for proper Dolby NR tracking, resulting in very high Signal-to-Noise ratio and exceptionally clean sound. The TC-720 also has a unique built-in "real time" echo facility. You can use this to add new dimensions of studio realism to tapes recorded for playback in both your car and your home. All these front panel features (and more) are backed by reliable, advanced electronics. The Closed-Loop Dual Capstan Drive keeps the tape at an ideal tension for smooth head contact. An advanced Frequency generator servomotor transports the tape at a constant, accurate speed with very high torque. High-performance, low-noise amplifying circuits are used for the mic and line inputs. All this superior performance is wrapped in a beautiful simulated ebony cabinet.
