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.

Musical Fidelity FCD

Features and benefits

Remote control - convenient operation from listening position, including output level.

Bitstream converter system - increased sound quality with smoother response and lower distortion.

20-bit digital filter - high linearity and low distortion

Gold plated phono sockets - do not tarnish and will maintain good contact.

20 track programming - you can listen to the tracks you want in the order you prefer.

Optical and coaxial digital outputs - enables connection of external D/A converters or digital amplifiers.

Class A valve triode output stage - adds the inherent benefits of Class A and valves to the digital format.

XLR output option - makes a better electrical connection than standard phono connectors
