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.

Bose Model 550 receiver

The new, moderately prieced Bose Model 550 AM/FM Stereo Receiver brings you Bose technology and research wrapped up in an affordable, innovative package. It includes a direct-coupled amplifier that delivers a solid 40 watts of RMS power per channel - enough to drive almost any loudspeaker. It has an excellent AM/FM tuner section for clean reception. And exclusive Bose Source and Room Compensation Controls let you adjust for recording characteristics and for room acoustics. These controls make it easy for you to remove mid-range boominess without losing your deep bass. Try that with a conventional receiver.
The Bose 550 Receiver is designed to drive any speakers that suit your taste and budget. And it contains a unique feature you'll really appreciate when you upgrade your system. More and more customers tell us their first loudspeakers are interim units and that one day they hope to invest in a Bose 901 Series Direct/Reflecting Loudspeakers System.
Ownwrship of the 550 Receiver brings that day much closer, because the receiver has a built-in 901 Active Equalizer that gives you a significant savings when you purchase 901 speakers.
