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 KA-6000 (1969)


Solid State Stereo Amplifier
180 watts of IHF standard total music power, enough to drive even low efficiency hi-fi speakers.
The wide power bandwidth of 10 Hz to 50,000 Hz with very low IM distortion.
Kenwood's exclusive low level phono inputs for low level output phono cartridges of 2 mV, 0,5 mV or 0,05 mV.
2 pairs of MAG input terminals for 2 set of record players.
Lever type -20 dB muting switch of quick response for momentary quietness during telephone call etc.
2 dB step type tone controls with tone mode switch.
Blue light indicators for input selector switch.
Lever type high and low filter switches.
Large volume/balance control knob located in center of frontpanel.
Pre-amplifier outputs for use with other power amplifier or multichannel system.
Main amplifier inputs for the use with other pre-amplifier, tuner and tape recorder with pre-amplifier, and also these unputs enable you to drive the main amplifier directly.
Speaker terminals for 2 sets of stereo speaker and front panel speaker selector switch.
Exclusive blow-out proof automatic circuit breaker protects power transistors.
