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.

Pioneer SX-750 receiver

 Advanced, High Power AM/FM Stereo Receiver with Tonal Quality-Oriented Design Features.

For a practically-prieced integrated receiver, Pioneer's SX-750 delivers an astonishing amount of state-of-the-art. Perfection. Conventionally, receivers have been considered inferior in terms of performance to integrated amplifiers and independent tuners. But the SX-750 is bound to after this convention. Its pre-amplifier, power amplifier and tuner sections give first-rate performance specifications, the equal in many respects to separate components.
There is an abundance of power: continuous power output of 50 watts per channel min. RMS at 8 ohms, from 20 to 20,000 Hz with no more than 0,1% Total Harmonic Distortion. Other design features contribute to the unit's overall stability and sensitivity. The input/output terminals and circuits of the pre-amplifier/tuner sections are laid out on one large printed circuit board, a process that eliminates shielded input cords and enhances overall tonal quality. The front end uses a dual gate MOS type FET and a 4-gang variable capacvitor for its high sensitivity and selectivity. The IF section combines up-to-the-minute circuits and differential amplifier ICs for its high signal/noise ratio and low distortion.
The SX-750 by Pionner: innovative, attractive, value-packed - another model of efficiency in receiver design.
