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.

Denon DRA-550 receiver

A blend of convenience and performance for the Age of Digital Audio; Denon's Powerful DRA-550 Receiver

The DRA-550 combines the convenience of tuner/amplifier integration with the high performance of separate components. It easily handles the demanding dynamics of today's digital and hi-fi video sources through the extensive use of highly advanced circuitry in the amplifier section. The tuning section outperforms many separate tuners in both sensitivity and fidelity. The DRA-550 redefines what audiophiles have come to expect from a receiver.
