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.

Mitsubishi MS-40 loudspeakers

Mitsubishi Audio's MS-40 floor-standing loudspeaker system is a new top-of-the-line model that utilizes light and extremely rigid aluminum honeycomb in the woofer; the honeycomb is sandwiched between layers of glass fiber reinforced plastic to produce powerful bass response with excellent definition and clarity, according to the company. Ferro-nickel rings inn the woofer and midrange reduce distortion to a tenth of that in conventional designs. It's claimed, and a gain of 20 dB can be observed. The dome tweeter is nested in a cone-like recess to give a crisp, clear edge to transients and unusual smoothness to the highest frequencies.
The tweeter's edge material is of butyl rubber, which also permeates the foamed polystyrene that fills the cavity behind the hybrid dome tweeter. The tweeter also incorporates a drive magnet with very high flux density. A very sharp slope of 18 dB per octave for the high-pass filter between midrange and tweeter was selected as optimum. Inductors are dipped in special varnish to modify impedance characteristics of the crossover elements, capacitors with very low loss factors are used, and resistors are of special silicon-dipped material.
The speaker measures 15-3/8 inches in width, 15-5/16 inches in depth, and on its permanently attached base, it stands 34-5/8 inches high. If that's too tall for you, you can take the base off by loosening a set of holding screws.
The enclosure is finished in carefully matched walnut veneer, even on the front panel,, so you can play the speaker with the grille removed to show off its impressive array of drivers.
Its weight of 77 lbs, gives a clue too the solidity of the overall construction.

Sanyo Plus T55 tuner

Digital Tuner with Memory
Described as "the first radical departure in tuner design in four decades". Sanyo's Plus T55 tuner combines an electronically tuned front end and digitally programmable quartz crystal reference oscillator to provide "superb" audio performance. And thre's another unique benefit; it's impossible to mistune a station. As long as the station's frequency appears in the bright fluorescent digital display and the center tune indicator is lit, the receiver is perfectly tuned at the exact point of minimum noise and distortion. Plus T55 has a passive four-pole LC filter that is double-tuned to reject not only the 19 kHz multiplex pilot tune, but also the 38 kHz multiplex subcarrier. Thus the high frequency subcarrier cannot interact with the bias frequency of tape decks. The band/mode selector lets you choose AM or either of two FM modes; auto, with automatic switching to stereo  mode in the presence of a multiplex signal; and mono, which suppresses stereo information in all signals, allowing noisy stereo signals to be heard with improved quality.

JVC SEA-80 equalizer

A new 10-band equalizer from JVC Corp can "tune your room" for audio reproduction of the highest quality. The equalizer utilizes a pink noise generator that simulates the response of the human ear; energy distribution is constant as the signal doubles between 100 Hz and 200 Hz ; for example. The SEA-80 is claimed to actually analyze a room's acoustic so that you can make exact compensations on each of the ten channels. A Fluorescent Spectrum Analyzer Display divides input into ten bands (corresponding to the center frequencies of the equalization controls) and displays the dB level of each on ten, bright fluorescent bars. An eleventh bar charts over-all volume. This visual graph of a room's acoustics ensures real equalization, says JVC. Each display bar is designed to rise rapidly and fall slowly to enhance the visual representation of what your ears actually hear. The display covers the frequency range from 32 Hz to 16,000 Hz over the range from "0" to 26 dB. The SEA-80's mode switch allows a graphic reading of either the left- or right channel signals alone, as well as both together. A memory feature allows holding an input indication for closer inspection. The unit is said to aid in control of high frequency signals when recording on cassette tapes.

Sansui G-4700 receiver

Digital readouts and digital circuitry. Great specs. And the best-price / performance ratio in the business. All the right numbers. That's the new Sansui G-4700.
Double digital Design.
The front panel of the G-4700 has a bright electronic digital readout that shows the frequency of the station you've selected; and behind the front panel is one of the most advanced tuning systems in the world.
Sansui's patented Digitally Quartz-Locked Circuit uses a precise quartz crystal time base to keep your station locked in, even through many hours of listening or if you turn the receiver off and back on again.
Conventional quartz-controlled receivers use analog phase comparison circuits that can become inaccurate because of harmonic interference. Our system uses a new LSIC (Large Scale Integrated Circuit) digital processor that actually counts the vibrations of the quartz crystal to compare to the tuned frequency. The frequency is perfectly locked in the instant you find the station you want.
With the unique Digitally Quartz-Locked system, the G-4700 delivers high sensitivity , a better Signal-to-Noise ratio, and a better spurious rejection ratio.
DC Power Amplifier.
Power is ample for almost any speaker made, with 50 watts per channel, min. RMS, both channels driven into 8 ohms from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more than 0,05% Total Harmonic Distortion.
And the wide bandwidth DC power amp circuit responds quickly to transient music signals for the most accurate and pleasing music reproduction. What you hear is clean and sharp, just the way it was recorded.
Electronic LED Power Meters
Don'r worry if you present speakers can't handle 50 watts. The array of fast-actling LED's on the Sansui G-4700 lets you monitor and control the output level so you don't damage your speakers.
Electronic Tuning Meters.
Two fluorescent readouts help to zero-in on each station with accuracy and ease. Both the signal strength and center-tune indicators operate digitally for precise station selection, and the nearby LED verifies that the quartz circuit has locked in your station.
Superb Human Engineering.
A full complement of genuinely useful knobs, switches and jacks gives you complete control over what you hear and how you hear it.

Sennheiser HD-430 headphones

With HD-430 Sennheiser offers "new generation" headphones featuring improved magnet and sound-surround diaphragm design. Said to be "virtually distortion free", the headphones weighing only seven ounces provide audio frequency response from  16 to 20,000 Hz. Hearmonic distortion is put at less than 0,5% (DIN 45 500). This performance is achieved by use of a new diaphragm design and of a more powerful magnet weighing one-third as much as those made of conventional materials. Model HD-430 is also the first Sennheiser headphone to combine an open air design with circumaural ear cushions which lightly surround the outer ear to separate the ear from direct contact with the inner foam pad and yet permit all the advantages of openxerts a handband pressure of only about three Newtons which is an index of listener comfort. Typically. Open air headphones have half the headband pressure of conventional closed headphones, says Sennheiser. Impedance is 600 ohms per channel, and sensitivity (nominal spl at 1 kHz) is 94 dB at 1 mW input. HD-430 is provided with a 10-foot stranded-steel cable with stereo phone plug.

Kenwood KR-6400 receiver

Main Amp and Preamp section.
The OCL type main amplifier consists of a differential amplifier in the first stage and direct-coupled, complementary symmetry amplifier circuit in every following stage. It is designed for heavy duty use and features an oversize heat sink and rugged power transistors. It is also equipped with a "sure-action" protection circuit which includes a sensitive DC current detector that protects speakers, and an ASO limiter type detector that protects power transistors by circuit breaking relay action.
The equalizer amplifier is a dual cantype, low noise operational IC amplifier which has very high stability and low distortion ratio. Every audio stage from input to output is supplied by a positive, negative dual power supply. The speakers can easily be phase shifted to correspond with Aux, Tape Play and 4CH inputs, making this receiver easily adaptable for 4-channel reproduction.

Tuner Section features;
The FM front end consists of one FET and two other transistors used in one RF stages. It also includes a frequency linear 4-gang tuning condenser.
PLL is employed in the MPX section and assures excellent channel separation and improved stability.
FM DET Out connectors are available, permetting this receiver to be ready for FM 4-channel broadcasts whenever they become available.linear scaled front dial assures fast, accurate tuning.
