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.

Zenith MC-7050 receiver

Zenith's top-of-the-line stereo receiver, model MC7050, is a tuner/amplifier unit offering 40 watts of RMS power per channel minimum into 8 ohms, over a bandwidth of 20 to 20,000 Hz. The Total Harmonic Distortion is put at 0,2percent or less. A loudness compensation switch automatically increases low and high frequencies for richer sound at low volume levels, while high and low filters eliminate frequency noise at both ends of the sound spectrum. The tuner section  has tuned RF on FM, a ceramic filter to eliminate noise and alternate stations interference, a MOS FET integrated circuit to "Lock In" FM stations and a phase-locked loop MPX integrated circuit to maintain precise phasing of pilot and subcarrier signals on FM for low distortion and good stereo separation. Other features include; tape monitor; tape dubbing; 41-position detent volume control; 11-position detent bass and treble controls; center detent balance control; A/B/A+B speaker selector; FM mute; headphone and microphone jacks; flywheel tuning ; separate tuning and signal strength meters.
