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.

Pioneer SX-330 receiver


Solid-State 20W AM/FM/MPX Stereo Receiver. New, versatile, dramatically styled.
Years of listening enjoyment in this quality receiver from Pioneer. The FM front end is equipped with FET for excellent sensitivity and selectivity. The ferrite loop antenna ensures ideal AM reception, too. With its 20 watts of music power, this handsome unit is a fine choice for any home music center.

FM Tuner Section
Flawless reproduction of FM mono and stereo broadcasts is assured throuh the use of FET and a three-gang variable capacitor in the front end section. Because the SX-330 is highly sensitive, with an excellent image ratio, reception is free from interference, even in areas where stations are closely crowded together on the dial. Low-noise silicon transitors provide an excellent Signal-to-Noise Ratio.
FM Multiplex Section
The advanced circuitry of the SX-330 incorporates and FM multiplex section with a stable time-switching type demodulator for better FM stereo separation
AM Tuner Section
The superheterodyne AM tuner's receiving band has a range of 525 to 1605 kHz. The highly sensitive (10uv) ferrite loopstick antenna inside the SX-330 eliminates the need for an outdoor antenna even in areas where stations are relatively distant.
 Audio Section
Sound comes through with exceptional clarity thanks to the carefully designed OTL complementary circuitry of the audio section with its all-silicon transitors. The big 20 watt output is perfect for home use.
Terminal Facilities
The SX-330 has connections for playing through a tape recorder or deck, a record player and headphones. The speakers are automatically cut out when you connect the headphones to the jack on the front panel. AM, FM and FM stereo are then yours to enjoy in complete privacy.
Contemporary Styling
Slim wooden case, midnight black front panel, a tuning needle that lights up behind the smoked glass for easy reading under subdued illumination - here is truly refined appearance that makes the SX-330 elegant in any room.
