What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Optonica ST-5200 tuner


Optonica ST-5200
FM/LW/MW Stereo Synthesizer  Tuner with Microprocessor Tuning System
The synthesizer tuning system employed in this 3-band stereo tuner minimizes error and drift by breaking down a reference frequency and using it to synthesize the tuning frequency. As aresult, extremely stable, highly accurate reception is ensured. An easy-to-read digital frequency tuning display indicates the tuned frequency to enable pinpoint tuning accuracy. The auto search tuning system allows the synthesizer to be set to stop automatically at the nearest station in the chosen direction for effortless tuning. 10 presettable station memories can be set for one-touch tuning of favourite station. LED tuning meters facilitate pinpoint tuning accuracy and, when used with the FM air check calibrator, allow simplified setting of deck input levels for FM recordings. Soft-touch controls assure smooth operation.
