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.

Kenwood KR-6400 receiver

Main Amp and Preamp section.
The OCL type main amplifier consists of a differential amplifier in the first stage and direct-coupled, complementary symmetry amplifier circuit in every following stage. It is designed for heavy duty use and features an oversize heat sink and rugged power transistors. It is also equipped with a "sure-action" protection circuit which includes a sensitive DC current detector that protects speakers, and an ASO limiter type detector that protects power transistors by circuit breaking relay action.
The equalizer amplifier is a dual cantype, low noise operational IC amplifier which has very high stability and low distortion ratio. Every audio stage from input to output is supplied by a positive, negative dual power supply. The speakers can easily be phase shifted to correspond with Aux, Tape Play and 4CH inputs, making this receiver easily adaptable for 4-channel reproduction.

Tuner Section features;
The FM front end consists of one FET and two other transistors used in one RF stages. It also includes a frequency linear 4-gang tuning condenser.
PLL is employed in the MPX section and assures excellent channel separation and improved stability.
FM DET Out connectors are available, permetting this receiver to be ready for FM 4-channel broadcasts whenever they become available.linear scaled front dial assures fast, accurate tuning.
