Audio Innovations Alto amplifier

 Audio Innovations has a long established range of high quality audio equipment. The marque has founded its reputation on a range of widely acclaimed valve amplification. It has always been the ambition of Audio Innovations to manufacture products with the best possible performance at any given price. To date, this has precluded the use of transistor circuitry as it was not felt to offer equivalent performance to similarly priced valve designs.

In recent years there has been widespread demand for an entry level Audio Innovations amplifier that would combine the performance for which the company aesthetic elan. The Alto is the response to that demand. It is an affordable high quality amplifier dedicated for use with Line Level sources. The experience gained during the evolution of the highly regarded L2 Line pre-amplifier emphasised the importance of handling these higher level signals with particular care. It is vital that the input selection, attenuation and following gain stage are designed to minimise compression and corruption of the signal while at the same time allowing it to be coupled with unrestricted bandwidth to the power stages of the amplifier.

Audio Innovations places great emphasis on reproducing music with a high level of tonal and dynamic coherence. This consistency, regardless of level or pitch, is fundamental to the accurate reproduction of instrument timbre and is absent in almost all transistor electronics. The Alto circuit configuration addresses the key areas where problems occur while its inherent simplicity allows a more faithful representation of the music to be presented to the loudspeakers.

Internally the Alto is constructed to the same exacting standared as our more expensive valve amplifiers. The circuit boards is CAD "in house" designed. Close tolerance metal-film resistors and high quality signal coupling capacitors are used throughout. Input sockets are gold plated and the bi-wireable speaker terminals are heavy duty binding posts which will accept banana plugs, spades or bare wire.

The Alto ofers the facility to operate up to four line inputs as well as two tape recorders, and will therefore integrate easily into most domestic audio systems. With looks and performance that belie it's price the Alto represents a genuine alternative for the style conscious audio enthusiast.

Audio Innovations - The First Audio Amplifier

The Audio Amplifier Series from Audio Innovations challenges a number of traditionally held beliefs, the most fundamental of which is the insistance that inn order for an amplifier to have a sufficient dynamic range, it must have a very high static power output. The second main misconception is that the amplifier must have low distortion; the third being the bandwidth nevessary to reproduce the audio apectrum.

The First Audio Amplifier is the first amplifier to significantly deviate from these design criteria. It is also first commercially available amplifier using the Direct Heated Triode, this being the most linear and load tolerant amplifying device available.

Kenwood KL-777 loudspeakers

To reproduce in clear sound without distortion anything from the earth-shaking basso profundo of pipe organ to delicate overtone of a violin or the sharp sound of cymbals … this is the requirement speakers  must fullfill as an outlet for sound, . In its challenge to surmount this difficult objective, Kenwood so far has marketed numerous excellent speaker systems.

Based on our ampie past experiences, we now have completed the model KL-777, a power ful 15", 4-way , 6-speaker system.

The large diameter 15" woofer rock beautifully reproduces basso profundo which will even rock the room. Treble and mid-range are handled by two squawkers and two tweeters. A full range of ultra-high frequencies is freshly reproduced by new acoustic material called "mylar film" used in the corn type super tweeter.

The front grille is of the "bow line" design giving the set a classic appearance to accent a room-interior. When the grille is removed, it will show the buffle of refined finish, on which the level control is attached for adjustment of tone quality suitable for the room.

Woofer.

The newly developed powerfull 15", free-edge type woofer reproduces the fundamental a area with minimum distortion. This woofer, being specially designed for the air-suspension model, has successfully been made compact cabinet for the 15" class. The effective range is 800 Hz or below.

Mid-range

The most important range of 800 Hz - 5,000 Hz in music is reproduced by two 5" cornt-type mid-range, parallelly connected. They richly reproduce the mid-range. Being parallelly arranged, their allowable input has been increassed and effixiency improval.

Horn Tweeter

The two horn tweeters, which reproduce treble crisply, are parallelly arranged for improved directivity and increassed allowable input.

Super tweeter

The new acoustic material called "Mylar film" is used in the super tweeter which handles the cone above 10,000 Hz. The normal corn using fiber material is somewhat non-uniform in inner structure due to directional peculiarities of fiber. This is apt to cause split vibrations at high keys.
"mylar film" being of even and uniform structure does not give split vibrations at high keys. Also, because a small quantity is used, ultra-high frequencies beyond the audio frequency can be beautifukky reproduced without distortion.

It being of small diameter and corn type, the directivity is also greatly improved.

Network

The network may appear to be of little relation to the tone quality. However, it could cause distortions near the crossover points or damping inferiority in ultra low frequencies. Model KL-777 takes a full scale network of 12 dB/oct with the ferrite core which gives less magnetic loss. The copper wire used for voice coils can  amply endure the overload and help avoid distortions due to interventions near crossovers or damping inferiority in ultra-low frequencies.

Tone Selector

The tone selector is positioned in the front panel for easy operations.

"Soft" tone is suitable for room in which there is insufficiency in bass or where treble along are reflected.

"Clear" tone is for a boomy room which has insufficient absorption of bass or in which treble alone are absorbed.

"Normal" tone is for a normal room which may be say, in between the above two.

Cabinet

The front grille is of the "bow line" design giving a classic and calm appearance as an accent for the room interior.

Despite the large woofer used, it is comparatively compact and slim facilitating free setting. The front buffle is finely finished and, thus, one may remove the front grille and enjoy its professional appearance. The grille can be easily removed by hand.

Allowable Input

With its maximum input of 100 W, it is capable of reproducing large sound. Further, it can be safely used in combination with an amplifier of large output.

Sensitivity

The air-suspension type model is considered characteristic and advantageous with its compact enclosure and capability to reproduce ultra-low frequencies. In contrast, however, its sensitivity is not favorable. Therefore, unless an amplifier of a large output is used, it might not effectively perform its function.

Unlike other air-suspension type models, the KL-777 has gained high sensitivity of 102 dB and can fully perform the function with and amplifier of small output.

Speaker terminals

The one-touch connection terminal has been newly adopted for simple yet firm connection of cords.

Chartwell PM 100 loudspeakers

The Chartwell PM100 loudspeaker system is a breakthrough in compact loudspeaker design and is intended for use in situstions where space is at a premium, but musical accuracy must not be compromised.

Many small loudspeaker systems suffer from lack of deep bass response and their acoustic  output is unnaturally coloured in the mid-range, but Chartwell research engineers have developed a bass-reflex cabinet incorporating a ducted  port enabling natural reproduction of sound throughout the entire sudio spectrum down to 50 Hz and below, a frequency not always accomplished by speakers several times the size of the Chartwell PM 100.

A 25 mm soft-dome radiator HF unit and a new specially developed long-throw 165 mm bass/mid bextrene cone unit are combined with a 10 element crossover network. More than usual care has been taken in the crossover network design to ensure the input impedance of the system does not vary significantly over the audio frequency range. This reduces the demand on the driving amplifier which would be less liable to break into instability. All these factors ensure that the very high standard which has become the hallmark of Chartwell products is maintained.

JVC QL-F6

Fully-Automatic Quartz Turntable

Features

Coreless DC Motor with Quartz Servosystem

JVC Super Servo Frequency Generator

Variable "Q" Oil-Damped Tonearm

Fully-Automatic Arm Operation with Memory Repeat

Front Operation Convenience

The JVC QL-F6 is full of new and useful features. Namely, for higher speed accuracy, we've added another speed-correction system to the renowed JVC Quartz servosystem. For higher tracking accuracy, we've added a new oil damping system to our New Gimbal Support. And for low acoustic feedback, we've used a bottom board made of newly-developed H.D.P. compoud - heavier and more solid than conventional plastics - in combination with a solid aluminum die-cast cabinet. Further improvements are made even in the smallest of parts. What improvements do they offer your ears? Here the QL-F6 at your nearest dealer - your ears will know the answers.

Variable "Q" Oil-Damped Tonearm.

The tonearm of the QL-F6 is on JVC's New Gimbal type support, known for low friction and high sensitivity. But JVC has made its performance even better by adding to it our new variable "Q" oil damping system. Advantages are:

1) Damped "Q" (low-frequency resonance) results in better tracking

2) Sensitivity is high, with the support critically controlled

3) The user never needs to replace or replenish oil

4) Resistance to acoustic feedback is higher

5) The "Q" can be adjusted by a pair of controls - one for horizontal and one for vertical - to match the cartridge's compliance.

JVC'scomputer-asisted "K&K Method" was the creative force behind this innovative development.

JVC's New Double-Quartz Servosystem

In addition to the conventional JVC Quartz servo- the one that incorporates a phase comparator - there's another Quartz servosystem inside the QL-F6; the F-V converter makes the use of reference Quartz crystal rather than a more conventional reference voltage generator. Thus the rock-steady platter speed is made still more accurate. You cannot find another turntable offering steadier and more reliable speed control.

JVC's coreless motor is accurately controlled by these two dependable servos to rotate the platter with unimpeachable constancy. Besides, it vibrates very little and generates high torque (1,2 kg/cm) for a coreless motor, thanks to the newly-developed push-pull drive circuit. Finally, the JVC Super Servo FG (Frequency Generator) is built inside the motor to detect any speed error and help keep the platter spinnung accurate, always.

JVC L-A11 turntable

Auto-return Belt-drive Turntable

Features:

Dependable Auto-Return/Shut-Off Operation

Front-Control Convenience

JVC's Four-Pole Synchronous Motor

High-Sensitivity Tonearm

Low-Howl Cabinet

This dependable JVC model offers the hi-fi performance you've been listening for. And auto-return/shut-off operation, too. The precision motor on a refined belt-drive system, the precision tonearm - these two work together to give you the kind of sound you'd expect from a much more expensive turntable. Add to these the convenience of up-front control and the record protecting, energy-saving, auto-tonearm return and you're ready to enjoy your kond of music, your way. And the JVC L-A11 is not an "ears-only" model, its slim profile and attractive finish are delights for the eyes, too.

Auto-Return / Shut-Off Convenience.

Place the stylus on the first groove of your favorite record, then sit back and enjoy the music - leaving the rest to the automatic mechanism of the system. This uncomplicated mechanism permits the stylus to track freely (as on any first-class manual) until the stylus enters the lead-out grooves of the record. Or, until you trigger the Reject control.

If you desire, you can use the JVC L-A11 as a manual; put the stylus on the groove of your favorite selections, regardless of the arranged sequences of the record. Use the oil-damped Cue lever to avoid accidents. For further convenience, the Reject control is up front, you can send the tonearm home even with the dust cover closed

Low-Rumble Belt-drive System

A four-pole synchronous motor is coupled with a time-tested belt-drive system in this unit for silent and reliable operation. It maintains very close tolerance in speed accuracy regardless of changes in loads or power voltages, wow and flutter is less than 0,06% (WRMS) and the Signal-to-Noise Ratio better than 63 dB (DIN-B). The platter is die-cast of nonferrous material for ideal smooth rotation. You hear only what's on the record , not what's under it.

No Acoustic Feedback, No Muddiness

Muddiness in bass notes is caused by poor insulation and suspension of the motor, cabinet and tonearm of a turntable. Never will you be forced to hear it, for we've provided the JVC L-A11 with a number of features to end low-frequancy Muddiness, shutting out all acoustic feedback.

First, the cabinet is made of a special HDP (High-Density_Pararesonance) compoud with high specific gravity and fast resonance-attenuating response. Second, special configuration insulators are on the bottom of the turntable to resist sympathetic vibrations, particularly from a lateral direction.

High-Sensitivity Tonearm and more.

JVC has developed a new Dual-Contact Angular Bearing. It makes the tonearm more sensitive than usual. It also reduces mechanical error. You're assured of accurate stylus tracking over years and years. The arm rides on the statically-balanced support; mistracking, distortion, channel imbalance, undue record wear are all avoided. Also provided on the turntable are: anti-skating device, and direct-readout tracking-force dial.

Empire 598 III turntable

The Motor Section

A self-cooling, hysteresis synchronous type with an inside out rotor, drives the platter with enough torque to reach full speed in one third of a revolution. It contributes to the almost immeasurable 0,004% average wow and flutter value in our specifications.

Belt Drive system

Every turntable is apcked only when zero error is achieved in its speed accuracy. To prevent any variations of speed we grind each belt to ±.0001 inch

The Platter

Every two piece, 7 lb, 3 inch thick, die-cast aluminum platter is dynamically balanced. Once in motion, it acts as a massive flywheel to assure specified wow and flutter value even with the voltage varied from 105 to 127 volts AC.

The Main Bearing

The stainless steel shaft extending from the platter is aged, by alternate exposures to extreme changes in temperature, preventing it from ever warping. The tip is then precision ground and polished before lapping it into two oillite, self-lubricating bearings, reducing friction and reducing rumble to one of the lowest figures ever measured in a professional turntable; 63 dB CBS ARLL

The Suspension

Piston damped, 16 gauge steel coil springs cradle the arm and platter. You can dance without your stylus joining in.

The Tonearm

The aluminum tubular design boasts one of the lowest fundamental frequencies of any arm, an inaudible 6 Hz. Acoustic feedabck is unheard of, even with gain and bass turned all the way up. The vertical and horizontal bearing friction is 1 milligram. This allows the arm to move effortlessly, imposing only the calibrated anti-skating and tracking force you select.

The Cartridge

Empire's best, the 4000D/III, wide response cartridge is a standard feature. The capabilites of this cartridge allow you to play any 4 channel or stereo record at 1 gram or less. And the frequency response is an extraordinary 5 - 50,000 Hz , with more than 35 dB channel separtaion.

The Controls

The coordinated anti-skating adjustment provides the necessary force for the horizontal plane. It is micrometer calibrated to eliminate channel imbalance or unnecessary record wear.

Stylus force is dialed with a calibrated clock mainspring more accurate than any commercially available stylus pressure gauge.

A true vertical cueing control floats the tonearm up or down from a record surface bathed in light.

SST System

This is anintegrated system composed of 4 elements

1-Since the pinch roller holder is rightly fixed to the main chassis, the parallel position of the pinch roller and capstan is accurately maintained, and accordingly the tape always runs stably. (Vertical fluctuaction of the tape is prevented and thre is minimum wow and flutter.)

2-Since the tape hub is kept floating by a special reel shaft, no extra friction is added to the torque. Accordingly stable running of tape is ensured.

3-During FWD, the pulley rotates only to the minimum necessary degree, so there is no element to increase wow and flutter unnecessarily.

4-The whole amplifier circuit is driven by power from a stabilized power source, whereby that circuit and of course the delicate Dolby circuit and bias generating circuit are extremely stabilized.
