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.

Rotel RX-802 receiver

We've the fine wood-grain cabinet off of the RX-802 to give you a perfect picture of what performance in a high-quality AM/FM stereo receiver looks like. So see for yourself. It's all here. A masterful blend of the very latest circuitry. Low-noise, long-life silicon transistors integrated circuits. An AM/FM front end that's out front in sensitivity and performance. A power amplifier section that's - well, we'll let you decide for yourself what it is after hearing the giant 6,800 mfd block capacitors in action. And an advanced NF and IC equalizer amplifier. This and more, all within the good looking RX-802 enclosure. And all there for one reason. To give you the most satisfying experience in stereo dynamics that you've had to date. Inside and out, the RX-802 is not only the sweetest looking receiver on the music market, it's the sweetest sounding sweetest looking.

 

The performance begins here

With a high-performance, high-sensitivity FM front end. The RX-802 has dual-gate MOS FET's and a 4-gang linear-frequency tuning capacitor, the latter largely contributes to sensitivity and performance which you will translate directly into musical enjoyment. If you.ve thought all along that all receivers were basically the same, you'll stop where RX-802 performance begins.

 


FM IF and AM IF sections

In the FM IF section, 2 high-gain ICs housing 6 differential amplifiers and two linear-phase ceramic filters get together to achieve brilliant selectivity and rejection characteristics. In the AM IF section, a hard working ceramic filter provides equally efficient selectivity. Together with an RF stage in the AM front end, the sum of RX-802 AM features is performance that perks up all ears, no matter how tired.

 

A tower of power

A stable, split-power supply high-lights the amplifier section, which includes to 6,800 midblock capacitors and an oversized power transformer. That's a lot of satisfaction. It's also a lot of power which the RX-802 maintains constantly. This section also has directly-coupled OCL complementary circuitry to keep the power up and the distortion down, from one end of the audio spectrum to the other - 50 watts per channel, min. RMS, both channels driven simultaneously into 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000 Hz with no more than 0,5% Total Harmonic Distortion. And "steady she goes" doesn't only apply to ships. Now it describes the dampening factor and output characteristics which achieve superb transient response throughout the very low frequency range.

 

NF and IC equalizer amplifier

Genuinely outstanding RIAA characteristics are achieved through low-distortion, directly coupled NF (negative Feedback) circuitry combined with high voltage IC. Reproduction is more transparent than ever before. And added bonus is that tone control circuitry benefits from the same directly coupled NF circuitry.

 

PLL MPX section

Phase Lock Loop integrated circuitry and other new circuitry innovations in the MPX section result in improved stereo separation and frequency response. Distortion goes way down and stays there.
