Pioneer SA-9100 amplifier

The SA-9100 is Pioneer's finest two-channel stereo integrated amplifier. Featuring a wealth of improvements in design, this distinguished amplifier offers more than just great power output, but the professional reliability that is so necessary for undistorted sound in today's advanced systems. Employed throughout all the circuit stages is a plus-minus split-power supply. In all amplifier first-stages is a differential amplifier design used in the equalizer, control amplifier and power amplifier section. The result is extraordinary stable and reliable performance exceeding the characteristics of some of the most expensive amplfiers now available. The equalizer section, for example, has a large input handling capability of 250 mV (RMS) and precise RIAA equalization within ±0,2 dB for true hi-fi sound reproduction. Signal-to-Noise ratio, distortion, and dynamic margin are also greatly improved, and the power amplifier section uses the complementary direct-coupled OCL design to provide a wide frequency response and power bandwith - with automatic electronic protection circuit. Tone control function is also unique, featuring Pioneer's new Twin Tone Control system that uses special sub tone controls plus ordinary main controls for bass and treble adjustment. With this complex arrangement, extremely high and low sound spectrum adjustment is possible - and by combining the main and sub controls, even more precise tone control characteristics may be obtained that reflect the performance of your speaker system or phono cartridge, or even the acoustical properties of your musical listening room. In terms of power, 

 


Pioneer guarantees a solid 60 watts plus 60 watts (both channels driven at 8 ohms) as the minimum standard output, and stands behind this guarantee with a factory tested data sheet which is included with each SA-9100. this power output is indicated by the continuous power output measurement, with both channels driven at 8 ohms within the all-important 20 - 20,000 Hz sound range. Versatility is top-notch, as one would expect from an amplifier of this price and quality; the SA-9100 handles up to three pairs of speaker systems, two turntables, two tape decks, two microphones,, and two additional auxiliary sound sources. There is also a level set switch that widens the optimum control range for the volume level, with stops at 0 dB, -15 dB and -30 dB. Subsonic filters are provided for both individual pre- and power-amp sections with, 12 dB/oct at 8 Hz. As ana investment in professional quality sound reproduction, the SA-9100 is totally uncompromising. It deliveres more for your money, in keeping with Pioneer's high standards. If is one of the finest high-power amplifiers now being made.
