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.

KA-3700 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The lowest distortion of any amplifier in its class and full power down to 20 Hz. Overal performance you would expect in a much higher priced amplifier.

Features

20 watts per channel, min. RMS both channels driven at 8 ohms, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with no more than 0,08% THD.

Oversize capacitors and high-output power transistors.

Power stability with a direct-coupled complementary differential amplifier.

Low-noise, direct coupled phono equalizer (78 dB).

Clik-stop tone controls.

Low boost loudnest control for realistic listening at low and medium volume.

Oversize Volume and Selector controls.

tape monitoring.

Optional CB-3 walnut veneer cabinet, B-5 walnut veneer side panels, or D-5 carrying handles available.
