The concept
is simple. The execution is precise. The performance is outstanding - the name
is Technics.
The SA-8500X
- first 4-channel receiver with automatic CD-4 separation.
Until now
you had to depend upon your hands, your eyes and your ears to bring you
4-channel sepaation CD-4 records. When they missed, so did you.
With the
Technics SA-8500X. Instead of trial and error, the SA-8500X brings you
automatic and continuous CD-4
separation.
The SA-8500X
has just about everything else you might want for command of 4-channel.
Automatic carrier level controls. A CD-4 dmodulator with LSI IC's for discrete
4-channel records. A decoder for both types of matrix. And an MPX output ready
for discrete FM broadcasts.
There's also
plenty of power; 26 watts per channel minimum RMS, at 8 ohms from 20 Hz to 20
kHz, at 8 ohms from 20 - 20 kHz with no more than0,5% THD.
But equally
important, all this power is under your control. With 4 VU meters for visual conrtol of 4-channel balance. 3
tape monitors. Clik-stop tone controls. High and low filter switches. And a 20 dB
audio muting switch for reducing sound oudput without changing the volume
setting.
We've also
put a 4-pole dual-gate MOS and 3 ceramic
IF filters into the FM section. So you get a sensitivity of 1,9 µV
(IHF).
For stereo,
a simple flick of a switch on the front panel straps the amplifiers
together. Producing 80 watts per
channel, minimum RMS. At 8 ohms from 20 Hz - 20 kHz with no more than 0,5% THD.
The SA-8500X
- it's the way to hear everything in 4-channel the way it should be heard.
Because it's the first 4-channel receiver with both automatic carrier level
controls and automatic CD-4 separation.
