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.

JVC KD-A3 cassette deck

Features

4-position Tape Select Switches allow kinds of tape, including the new Metal Tape, to be used

An SA erase head with high erase efficiency is used so that Metal Tape can be erased

ANRS which lowers tape hiss noise so that it is inaudible and Super ANRS which improves linearity at high frequencies are incorporated

5-point peak indicators are for easier and more accurate checking of peak levels.

Timer standby capability for automatic start of recording or playback using an AC timer

With the REC MUTE switch, you leave silent passages between program material

Output level control possible

Automatic input selector

Geared and oil-damped cassette holder

Large VU meters with backlight
