AM/FM
Stereo Solid State Receiver
The
harman-Kardon engineering team has completed a high performance stereo receiver
which exceeds every specification ever established for medium priced stereo
components. The new Model 230A combnes the finest stereophonic sound with the
industry's most distinctive styling to give high fidelity a new standard of
excellence and performance at a price of less than $160.00.
The 230A
adheres to the same philosophy of design that makes all Harman-Kardon receivers
sound more transparent and lifelike. Frequency response, which is usually
limited to the narrow range of 20-20,000 Hz in most receivers, is extended well
beyond those parameters to give the sound you hear greater clarity and
definition. All of the subtle nuances and shadings of music emerge with
exciting realism.
Tuber
sensitivity of the 230A is extraordinary. It pulls in distant stations without
noise or fanding. AM and FM performance neve deteriorates with age bccause the
receiver produces no heat to change the value of component parts.
And when you
tune the 230A to a station, it locks into place and never drifts.
features
No
deterioration with age becasue ther's no damaging heat. You can expect the same
high quality performance from 230A even afters years of extensive use.
A special
electronic circuit automatically swiches FM tuner to stereo, the moment a
stereo broadcastis received. Special light indicates FM stereo reception.
Receiver switches to standard FM automatically when stereo broadcast ends.
High speaker
damping controls excessive speaker excursions to avoid distortion during sharp
bursts of sound. This results in clean, tight bass.
Contour for
low-volume listening maintains full bass response even at levels where bass
normally falls off.
Precise
D'Arsonval movement tuning mater shows when you have tuned to strongest and
clearest signal on AM and FM
Stereo in
two rooms. Simple front panel switching eliminates the complexity and expense
of external switching devices. Headphone receptacle permits personal listenng.
Newly
designed dial illumination showsAM or FM dial scale independently for maximum
visibility. Entire top section of receiver turns black when receiver is
switched to phono mode of operation.

ON/OFF switch glows in red to indicate that receiver is on.continuously
variable balance control lets you adjust stereo balance to suit acoustic
requirements of your room. Permits you to sit far to one side of your room and
still maintain perfect stero.
Tape Monitor
Switch for instant comparison of recorded material and original program.
Extended
frequency response beyond the normal hearing range gives extra realism to the
sounds you can hear. 230A sound is cleaner, more transparent, more sharply
defined. You can actually feel the difference.
Separate
illuminated power On/Off switch permits you to turn receiver on and off without
upsetting other controls.
