The SX-424
is a medium-powered, budget-priced AM/FM solid state stereo receiver with
special features for sensitive FM tuning and wide frequency response.
Pioneer
SX-424 is proof positive taht stereo on a limited budget doesn't have to mean
limited stereo sound. In a handsome package of quality circuitry and reasonable
price, the SX-424 offers up to 50 watts of music power at 4 ohms, very
sensitive FM reception a wide linear type dial scale for fine FM tuning, and
highly respectable specifications both
for the FM tuner section and the audio section. It's versatile unit, too
because you can use it with almost all music sources available today, including
records, tape, FM and microphone. Best of all it's Pioneer made, which means
that, for its price, there is probably nothing available today that can compare
with its quality.
