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.

Rotel RA-311

 Here is the best example of Rotel's cost-performance outperformer. RA-311 is a new and very versatile stereo pre-main amplifier that let you handle all kinds of program sources. Besides record player, note two tape recorders you can operate and with dubbing, too. And yet another input for an additional component, not counting one for tuner. All can be simply and smoothly controlled by this amplifier's amplr 20W + 20W RMS continuous power both channels driven at wide frequency response and negligible distortion, along with other efficient controls and switches.
