The Pioneer
SA-800 is a professional stereo amplifier that, in performance and
specifications, ranks with the very finest of high power units now being
manufactured taday. It has a multitude of features that make it suitable for
most anyone's home stereo system, but especially one that requires
multiple-purpose versatility.
The SA-800
employs all-stage direct coupling circuitry in the power amplifier section, a
vast improvement over conventional circuitry using coupling capacitors, and the
result is an astonishingly wide power bandwidth of 5 - 50,000 Hz (at 8 ohms).
The unit
also has a high-grade protector circuit using relays and transistor which
safeguards the speakers and output transistors under all conditions.
There are
two sets of tape terminals for easy tape-to-tape duplicating; there are also
dual phono terminals which can accommodate both moving magnet and moving coil
cartridge turntables. There are other extras, too, which make the SA-800 a
truly professional instrument as well as tremendous investment in the kind of
quality that Pioneer continues to make famous.
