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.

Technics SA-818 receiver

Technics new Class A receivers

Give you so much because they give you so little. 0,00% switching distortion. 0,00% FM drift

 

Technics SA-818, uncommon receiver, because he has it too, synchro-bias circuitry and quartz-synthesized tuning. Together they give you that special something you've come to expect from Technics : sonic excellence.

Synchro-bias. What it does may seem complicated, but it sounds simply beautiful. With conventional amplifier designs, the output transistors constantly switch omn and off as the input waveform goes from positive to negative. Technics synchro-bias eliminates switching distortion because it constantly sends minute amounts of current to the transistor not in use. And since the transistors don't switch on or off, distortion is eliminated.so is FM drift because both receivers include our quartz-synthesized tuning system. With its quartz-crystal oscillator both the frequencies broadcast and those received are quartz-synthesized so tuner drift is completely eliminated. So is the hassle of tuning because SA-818 can be preset to receive eight AM and eight FM stations.

You'll also like Technics acoustic control because its high and low range boost and filter switches can attenuate or boost two different frequency ranges.

Technics New Class A receivers. They give you more what you want and less of what you don't.
