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.

Kenwood TK-140X receiver

IC-FET-Solid State AM/FM Stereo Receiver

A delectable treat for the sagacious sound connoisseur; the ineffable TK-140X

Kenwood's superior sensitivity and astonishing selectivity starts with 3 FET's 4-gang tuning condenser, 4 ICs IF circuit super sensitive front-end. Sensitivity of the TK-140X is a remarkable 1,7 microvolt - but even more important is Kenwood's selectivity, especially in major metropolitan areas. Where there are two FM stations on the same frequency, a mere 1 dB difference is all that is necessary for the TK-140X to capture one station and utterly reject the other.

The abundant power  - 200 watts - of the TK-140X permits you to drive the least efficient speaker systems with ample power to spare, (in fact, the Kenwood TK-140X gives you two sets of stereo speaker outputs, plus stereo headphone jack.)

But most important is the way the TK-140X reproduces music. Every delicate little tone, every subtle note, every nuance of the original sound is clean, pure, crisp and transparent.

 

New Luminous-Dial

The dial of the Kenwood TK-140X is new. Even the large tuning meter with stereo indicator is new. When the set is on, the dial illuminates in a beautiful blue hue, with every FM and AM frequency clearly visible. Turn the set off, and all the numbers disappear leaving an elegant opaque decorator panel.

200 Watts Undistorted Music Power

Kenwood invites comparison of the TK-140X's power amplifier output characteristics against those of any other stereo tuner-amplifier. The figures should speak for themselves in the TK-140X's favor. It delivers 200 watts in music power at 4 ; 170 watts at 8 , IHF standard. Also in terms of continuous power: 80watts/80 watts at 4 ohms; 60 watts/60 watts at 8 ohms. Distortion factor at rated output; less than 0,5%. Power bandwidth: 15 Hz to 30,000 Hz. These superior specifications are the result of special complementary Darlington circuits and heavy duty silicon transistors, both in its driver and power amplifiers. These silicon transistors also assure long lasting, excellent performance.

FET, Supersensitive Front End

The TK-140X boasts an FM Front End that also vies comparison with the most expensive FM Tuners. Take the 3 FET used in two stages of RF amplification, and the Mixer. Also the 4-gang variable capacitor, and stable oscilator, (Frequency drift within 0,015% over temperature variations between -10 to 50 Centigrade). They all add up to a super-sensitive, distortion-free FM front end with selectivity characteristics that are hard to beat. Sensitivity (IHF): 1,7 µV. Image Rejection, Cross Modulation, IF Rejection; all better than 100 dB. Alternate Channel Selectivity: 45 dB. T.H.D. less than 0,5% at 400 Hz, 100% modulated signal.

The TK-140X has an FM antenna coupling transformer which provides perfect matching at its 75 . Input for single wire or coaxial cable antenna leading, or at its 300 . Input for parallel feeder lines. This eliminates any possibility of line-to-tuner coupling losses due to impedance mismatch.

New Integrated Circuits

Use of new , high-gain Integrated Circuits (IC) in all 4 IF Amplifiers has permitted the TK-140X's Limiter Circuit to react to extremely minute input voltages. This has LED to the exceptional Signal-to-Noise Ratio of better than 65 dB and an FM Capture Ratio of 1,0 dB. This means that where there are two FM stations on the same frequency, a mere 1 dB difference is all that's necessary to capture one station and utterly reject the other.

Kenwood KX-1030 cassette deck

Most advanced technology of cassette deck design

The KX-1030 achieves electrical and performance characteristics equal to , or better than those of any cassette deck available today at any price. The extraordinary performance of this cassette deck is a direct result of the many years of research and development of dedicated Kenwood engineers, and their desire to achieve a level of performance that goes far beyond the state-of-the-art..

Consider just one performance feature of the KX-1030. there exist a number of cassette decks which incorporate "three-head" design for the purpose of monitoring recordings directly from the tape as they are being made. The KX-1030 provides for such instant playback of recordings, but Kenwood engineers have incorporated independent record and playback heads for this purpose, thereby achieving a performance level not possible with dual-purpose combination record/playback heads. As a result, the KX-1030 provides extended frequency response, wider dynamic range and higher saturation levels - performance qualities that are indispensable for high quality tape reproduction.

 

Flat Drive Belt - the key to further improvement in woa and flutter

The drive system used to transfer rotational energy from the motor to the flywheel can be used to further reduce undesirable wow-and-flutter. A round cross-sectional type of belt, such as that used in most cassette decks, does not provide sufficient contact surface to be used in a precision cassette deck such as the KX-1030. in order to reduce slippage and vibration caused by the subtle, irregular motion that takes place between the flywheel and the drive belt, Kenwood engineers elected to use a flat belt having a width of 5 millimeters. This belt not only reduces slippage because of its large contact surface, but also absorbs vibration caused by the irregular motion inherent in the remainder of the drive system.

Unlike flywheels with V-grooves gouged into their surfaces, the flat, polished surface of the flywheel used in the KX-1030 provides exact concentricity required for precise rotation. Such accurate roundness is difficult if not impossible to achieve with conventional V-grooved flywheels.

 


Vertical Tape Trasport using Independent Belt Drive System

In most cassette decks employing a single-motor drive, one belt is used to drive the tape as well as the take-up reel. In such systems, so long as there is no tape on the take-up reel side, the capstan drive system operates without interruption. However, as tape accumulates on the take-up side, irregularities or "bumps" in the action of the take-up reel may affect the operation of the capstan drive.

In order to reduce wow created by such vibration, Kenwood engineers decided to incorporate two separate belts; one solely for driving the capstan; the other for driving the take-up reel. As a result of this two-belt system, the KX-1030 provides low wow-and-flutter as well as accurate and stable rotation of the capstan, regardless of tape accumulation on the take-up reel of the cassette.

 

Capstan Roundness Accuracy

The capstan used in Kenwood's KX-1030 is machined to the critical roudness tolerance of 0,1 microns, thus reducing another important cause of wow-and-flutter. The capstan roundness chart , indicates clearly the degree of roundness achieved in Kenwood capstans.

Capstan accuracy must be maintained indefinitely, and not only when the cassette deck leaves the factory. In order to maintain this built-in accuracy, Kenwood engineers have incorporated a triangular capstan support system. This three-point support (as opposed to single or dual-support systems used by other manufacturers) can withstand shock from any direction without affecting the mechanical stability of the capstan system. Thus, long term reliability and low wow-and-flutter performance are assured through many years of continued use.

 

High Power, High Torque DC Servo Motor

While the use of a large flywheel in a cassette deck's transport system contributes significantly to stable and accurate rotation of that drive system, driving such a heavy flywheel requires a motor with high rotational torque. Kenwood engineers have incorporated a motor with a rotational torque of 50 gram centimeters in the KX-1030 - compared with approximately 20 gram centimeters of torque provided by the motors used in many other cassette decks. Another important feature of this well designed DC servo motor is that a sudden increase in load (often encountered in cassette drive systems when less-than-perfect cassette tape housing are used) has a negligible effect upon the stability of the tape drive system.

Kenwood KR-8010 receiver

If you're enthusiastic about today's less efficient, super-accurate speaker systems, you know you need a very efficient, super-power receiver to drive them. And if your ears are good enough, you know the value of lots of power to handle critical musical passages with any speaker system.

That's why we created the new KR-8010. with 125 Watts per channel, minimum RMS both channels driven at 8 ohms, from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz with no more than 0,03% Total Harmonic Distortion, you've got all the power you really need.

But more important, the KR-8010 gives you an extremely clean, low-distortion signal at the same time. For example, the Signal-to-Noise Ratio through the phono input is the best you'll find on any receiver (90 dB). Its overall frequency response is matched precisely to the RIAA curve ±0,2 dB. And the tuner delivers sensitivity and selectivity that you'll really appreciate in signal-crowded-cities.

To shape that signal into music, the KR-8010 offers a full range of front-panel control, usually found only in esoteric separates and recording studios. Like tape dubbing while listening to another source. And dual FM muting levels, Mic input and fade control. Bass, treble and midrange tone control. And more.
