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.

Hitachi SR-804

 Hitachi the new leader in audio technology introduces the world's most powerful 50 watt receiver.
The new SR-804 stereo reciver has the revolutionary Class G amp that instantly doubles its rated power from 50 to 100 watts to prevent clipping distortion during those demanding musical peaks (note the clipped and unclipped waves in the symbolic graph above).
The SR-804 is conservatively rated at 50 watts RMS, 20 - 20,000 Hz into 8 ohms with only 0,1% THD.
Class G is just one example of Hitachi's leadership in audio technology. Power MOS FET amplifiers, R&P 3-head system cassette decks, Uni-torque turntable motors, and gathered-edge metal cone speakers are just some of the others. Ther's a lot more.
