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.

Stax CDP Quattro II CD player

Super High Resolution Compact Disc Player

 

Advanced DA conversion and 8-times oversampling/18-bit digital filtering bring to life the full potential of the 44,1 kHz, 16-bit CD format as never before. Its high fidelity and complete lack of coloration or "digital harshness" make this the CD player for analog diehards.

By no mean are all CD players that feature 18-bit processing and 8-times oversampling alike. The Stax technology and know-how that go into the Quattro II mean more polish and overall audio output closer than ever before to the ambience of a live performance.

Terminal facilities like a Direct Out with no analog filter and a buffer-equipped Variable Out represent the absolute state-of-the-art. In digital audio technology.

But more revealing than any discussion of the technical merits of this unit will be a listening test with your favorite CDs played on the Stax Quattro II CD player.
