A Powerful
Receiver of Tremendous power and Fidelity, Beautifully Packaged in the Most
Up-to Date Design.
The
SX-1500TD features highly advanced circuitry. An FET frong and ensures
extremely sensitive FM reception. There are four IC's in the IF section for
excellent selectivity, and a monolithic IC in the multiplex section for
improved separation. Silicon transistors ensure low-noise music power of a
tremendous 180 watts. In addition, a fine dynamic microphone comes with the
SX-1500TD for microphone mixing. You can connect up to three different stereo
loudspeaker systems. Uniquely attractive, with its silver and black contrast
and polished rosewood end-pieces.
Center
Channel Output
The
SX-1500TD has a center channel output on the rear panel, providing the
composite signal (L+R) for a 3-D (three-dimensional) system, when you connect
another amplifier to the center channel output.
In addition, stereo music can be recorded into a monophonic tape
recorder with this output which is controlled by the preamplifier section of
the SX-1500TD.
Phono Inputs
The
SX-1500TD has two sets of phono inputs, enabling you to compare cartridges.
Phono 1 is for magnetic and ceramic cartridges, and Phono 2 is for magnetic
cartridges.
AC Outlets
There are
three AC outlets for turntables and tape decks used with the receiver, a
switched AC outlet for 230 VA and two unswitched AC outlets for 230 VA.
