Tandberg
Sølvsuper - the best selling table
receiver in Norway. You can now buy this famous model with a biult-in stereo
cassette tape recorder as the Sølvsuper
12C. The cassette tape recorder has a microphone input, manual level controls
for recording, and LED record level indicators. There
are many reason why the Sølvsuper
has become so popular. First of all its reliability. Then good design and a
clean simple layout for the operating controls. Teh Sølvsuper 12 has the same quality features as its 11 predecessores. To
obtain full enjoyment from it you ought to have loudspeakers that do it
justice.
Features
FM stereo,
long wave, medium wave, and short wave;
FM stereo
tuner with built-in decoder, ceramic filters and integrated circuits;
Muting (no
noise between atations) and AFC (automatic frequency control)
Powerful
stereo amplifier. Sine wave output power 2 x 15 watts in 8 ohms, or 2 x 20
watts in 4 ohms
Frequency/Loudness
compensated volume control;
Can be
connected to a record player with ceramic or magnetic pick-up and a tape
recorder;
Front jack
for stereo headphones
The Receiver
The stereo
decoder in the FM tuner has integrated circuits and a light diode on scale
automatically comes on when there is a stereo transmission. The FM tuner has
ceramic filters that discriminate well between stations. This is a big
advantage especially where two stations lie close together in the band. The
muting circuit, which cuts out noise between FM stations, acn be connected and
disconnected.
The High
Quality Stereo Amplifier
The stereo
amplifier has a great many valuable features. The volume control is common to
both channels and the balance between
the channels can be changed by a balance control. There are very effective
separate bass and treble controls. The volume control is frequency/loudness
compensated. This means that it automatically corrects for the falling
frequency response of the human ear at low volumes.
Sølvsuper 12C - The Cassette Model
The Sølvsuper 12C has the same tuner and amplifier
sections as the model 12. in addition it has a very good built-in cassette tape
recorder for record and playback of programmes from radio, record player,
microphone or another tape recorder. The traditional record level meters have
been replaced with light emitting diodes for indicating the peak recording
level. This is a very safe measurement technique. LED's have an almost
unlimited life.
The Sølvsuper as the central unit in a Tandberg
Music Centre.
Most
people who own a Sølvsuper use it
as the central unit in a music centre. This enables all the facilities of the
stereo amplifier to be fully exploited. The Sølvsuper 12 can be connected to a tape recorder, a Tandberg 3500 Stereo
for example, and a record player witha magnetic or ceramic pick-up. The Sølvsuper has 4 speaker outputs 92 for each
channel)> this means that the music centre can consist of 2 or 4 Tandberg
loudspeakers located together or in two separate groups.
