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.

Philips CD960 CD player

Philips Compact Disc Player CD 960

A signal-to-noise ratio of 100 dB. Dynamic range of96 dB. Channel separation greater than 100 dB. These are just a few of the superb specifications of the Philips CD 960 compact disc player, a player that offers audiophile -quality sound for the most demanding listener. 


 

From its elegant design to the superior chip architecture of the digital-to-analog converter, the CD 960 is truly world class. Philips, the inventor of the compact disc, has been constantly refining CD technology. The specially -selected high -resolution version of the acclaimed TDA 1541-A dual 16 -bit converter chip incorporated into the CD 960 is the culmination of those efforts. Coupled with a digital filter with four times oversampling that effectively eliminates any unwanted ultra -sonic noise, the CD 960 is a compact disc player that will become the center piece of your audio system.


 

Complementing the sophisticated digital engineering is superior analog circuitry including third -order Bessel filters, "Elna Cerafine" ceramic powder capacitors and four separate power supplies to eliminate unwanted interference. And all circuits are mounted on a massive, 4.4 pound non resonant, die-cast alloy chassis. Even the disc transport is die-cast aluminum alloy guaranteeing the single beam, broadcast -quality CDM-1 laser pick-up will track accurately and quickly with fast track access averaging less than one second!

Simple to operate-with a full -function remote-the Philips CD 960 has won accolades from the enthusiast press around the world. The CD 960 is a superior example of the art. of musical engineering, one that could only come from the originator of digital audio.
