Kenwood KR-5400 receiver

The Kenwood KR-5400 is the most sophisticated stereo receiver ever offered at a medium price. It dlivers more power than most listeners will ever use. And it combines this performance with features and controls that rival those of more expensive separate tuners and amplifiers.

Kenwood utilizes the finest parts and materials and incorporates the most advanced engineering concepts in this fine  unit, to assure you of top performance through years of constant use. From preamp yo power amp to tumer section, the KR-5400 is a receiver you will find hard to beat.

Direct-Coupled, Pure Complementary Symmetry Output Circuitry.

Nothing comes between you and your music with Kenwood's direct coupled circuitry. Flat frequency response from ultra-lows to highest highs is assured at all power levels ip to rated output.

Large Power Transformer - Oversize heat Sinks

Kenwood's massive power transformer forms the heart of a dual positive-negative supply to symmetrically power the high output transistor stages. These are mounted on massive heat sinks for safe, cool operation even under conditions of continuous full power output. This no-compromise design assures years of stable, trouble-free performance.

Exclusive ASO Dual protection

Circuit protects both your speaker system and your receiver. Should the 'area of sale operation" be exceeded, en instant-acting relay disengages the speakers.

Three Speaker System Capability.

The KR-5400 lets you enjoy stereo in as many as three separate listening areas of your home. Listen to any one speaker system or activate two systems at once with a touch of the front panel selector switch. A front panel headphone jack adds another listening dimension.

An Advanced new preamplifier

The precision equalizer-phono preamplifier section of the KR-5400 uses low-noise metal encapsulated transistors for the ultimate in Signal-to-Noise ratio and reliability. With phono input sensitivity of 2,5 mV up to 330 mV (p-p) of input signal can be accommodated at less than 0,5% Total Harmonic Distortion. Mic input facilities on the front panel are equally noise-free and low in distortion.

Dual tape Monitor Circuits

The Kenwood dual tape facilities and individual tape monitor pushbuttons allow you to monitor two tape decks, or to dub from one deck to another while listening to program source or recorded results.

Precise Tonal Compensation

The bass and treble controls of the KR-5400 employ an ingenious multi-purpose integrad circuit. Negative feedback is used to assure no audible distortion regardless of how much tonal compensation is required to match room acoustics, speaker characteristics or program source deficiencies.

FM IF Stages.

The IF section of the KR-5400 is equipped with permanently aligned solid state filters for high selectivity, superb capture ratio, and superior AM suppression. Spurious signal rejection is more than 90 dB.

Exceptional Tuner Performance

The tuner of the KR-5400 is one of the most advanced available today. It achieves a sensitivity of 1,9 µV with an unusually sharp quieting slope to assure noiseless and distortion-free reception.

Phase-lock-Loop Multiplex Decoder

A multi-function IC, used in the stereo decoder section, operates on the phase-lock-loop principle to insure uniform separation at all audio frequencies. A newlly designed LC filter effectively reduces beat interference and intermodulation distortion normally caused by carrier leakage.

4-channel Ready

Special, inputs and outputs for connection of any four-channel decoder or adapter are provided on the KR-5440. when you are ready for quadraphonic sound, there will be no need to upset tape inputs or outputs. You retain full tape monitoring facilities for as many as two tape decks. There's even a 4-channel detector output for future discrete four-channel broadcasting when it's approved.
