A line performance
stereo receiver from Luxman in the medium price bracket.
Luxman R-600
Features:
Genuine 30 +30 watts
into 8 ohms, both channels driven with less than 0,1% total harmonic distortion
at any frequency 20 - 20,000 Hz
Wide and bright dial
for easy tuning with signal strength meter for both FM and AM
Practical 2,1 µV FM sensitivity (IHF) thanks to MOS FET and
Ics of high integration
Direct coupled
amplifier yields power bandwidth of 10 - 40,000 Hz (0,3%, -3 dB)
Pre Amplifier
Section
In addition to the
ordinary BAX tone controls of NF type with defeat switch, low and high cut
filters are provided for minute and versatile tailoring of reproduced sound. A
loudness control is incorporated to boost both bass and treble at low volume
levels.
Main Amplifier
Section
Quasi-complementary
direct coupled condenser output amplifier delivers 30W per channel RMS into 8
ohms both channels driven with low distortion typically under 0,1% at all
powers and frequencies up to the rated output and ensures stable performance on
even 2 pairs of low efficiency loudspeakers.
Tuner FM Section
At the front end
3-gang tuning condenser is adopted and good overload and image characteristics
are procured in combination with dual-gate MOS FET used in the RF amp. And
mixer circuit. Two ceramic filters featured in the IF circuit Ics with high
degree of integration are used whose differential stage is utilized to gain
good limiting. The Ics are featured in the MPX circuit and good separation
exceeding 38 dB is attained at 400 Hz. The muting circuit is provided to remove
inter-station noise which is controlled by the "AND" circuit composed
by signal strength and centre tuning signals. The output of this circuit is
used for gate signal to ensure pleasant command of muting circuit.
AM Section
A 2-gang tuning
capacitor is used at the front end. Whole circuit is composed by a single piece
of IC - where strong AGC is automatically put into operation, which ensures
good overload characteristic as compared with the ordinary discreet circuit.
Styling
As the impeccable
tradition of Luxman all important factors are taken into account, such as
accessibility, soft feeling etc. The front panel is of light gold aluminium
extrusion with hair-line finish and the housing is of dignified rose-wood.
The R-600 has a true
value in every respect / quality, performance and beauty at such a modest cost.
