The Sansui
"Z" Series - The Realization of Great Expectations
Music lovers
expect uncommon products from Sansui. And Sansui delivers. The Sansui
"Z" Series of synthesized digital receivers are designed and bulit
with a loving logic that can be seen, touched and heard. Thae the Sansui 5900Z,
a reasonably priced receiver with every important feature you could possibly
want for the heart of your high fidlity system.
Synthesized
Digital Tuning
You can't
mistune a Sansui synthesized digital receiver. Not even a little. Press the
up/down tuning buttons. The digital circuitry ensures that every station
received is automatically locked in for lowest possible distortion, with its
frequency indicated both on a digital readout and by an LED indicator along an
analog type dial.
Touch Volume
Control and LED Peak Power level Indicator
The Sansui
5900Z uses a pair of touch-buttons to adjust the listening level. Relative
volume control setting is indicated on a fluorescent display. Actual peak power
amplifier output is shown by 14-segment LED indicators.
12 preset
Stations
To make FM
and AM tuning still easier, up to 12 user-selected stations may be
"stored" in the 5900Z's memory circuits for instant recall. The last
station received will be remembered when the tuner is turned on again, and
memories are kept "live" even during a power outage.
DC Servo Amp
for Dependable Power
The leader
in DC technology, Sansui uses a servo-controlled amplifier circuit in all
"Z" receivers to eliminate unwanted ultra-low frequencies - like
record warps - while maintaining the advantages of direct-coupled circuitry in
their amplifier sections. The 5900Z delivers 75 watts/channel, min. RMS, both
channels into 8 ohms, from 20 - 20,000 Hz, with no more than 0,03% THD.
And there's
more. Like LED's for every important function. Two Muting Modes. Two tape deck
connection with dubbing. And much more.
