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-4004 (1973)

Creative craftsmanship-long a much-heralded aspect responsible for a great deal of Kenwood's success-is your built-in guarantee of total reliabilty. Selection of parts and materials is a significant beginning for this over-all stereo harmony, as demonstrated in the KA-4004 18/18 watt stereo amplifier. kenwood's scientific "Trouble Shooters" are in the process of elevating instrument quality by raising the standards of all models before they are offered for sale. Quality cutback is greatly minimized in the KA-4004 by using PNP Can type sealed transistors and nichrome-covered resistors in the preamplifier. Also, the print boards are directly combined with the tone control switches. needless wire connections are thus eliminated and over-all sophisticated circuitry-another kenwood hallmark of distinction-greatly improved. In many respects the KA-4004 is similar to the KA-6004 for its total, part-by-part auto-reliability.
