Only JVC combines Super-A purity and graphic equalization in a receiver.
It Naturally, you want a receiver that gives you the most for your money.
And only JVC gives you both Super-A amplification and graphic equalization.
You'll hear Super-A as pure, natural sound. Violins, cymbals, voices and other complex, delicate sounds are smooth and airy. That's because Super-A does away with most of the measurable switching and crossover distortion, a source of harshness in some conventional Class-AB receivers.
Class-AB Jagged center line indicates switching distortion.
JVC Super-A Minimal distortion in output waveform.
( Super-A R-S33 FM/AM Stereo Receiver At the same time, you'll get plenty of power. The R-S33 shown here gives you 40 watts per channel minimum RMS into 8 ohms, from 20-20,000 Hz, with no more than 0.007% total harmonic distortion. A regular Class-A amplifier with this kind of power would be heavy and expensive. But because it doesn't require high idling currents, the R-S33 costs and weighs about the same as a conventional receiver.
Even the most sophisticated amplifier can't correct cartridge peaks, speaker roll-off or room acoustics.
Neither can it accommodate your changing tastes in sound as you take off Beethoven and put on disco. That's where JVC's 5-band SEA graphic equalizer comes in. With independent controls at 40 Hz, 250 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz and '15 kHz, it lets you extend the deep bass without creating boominess. Mellow out a voice without cutting the highs. Add brightness to the extreme highs and more.
With all this, the R-S33 has plenty of other features to recommend it: direct-coupling, a sensitive tuner section with linear-phase IF filters, two tape monitors with equalizer and dubbing facilities, LED power meters, and JVC's triple power protection system.
So if you're interested in getting more without paying more, call 800-526-5308 toll free for the location of your nearest JVC dealer (in N.J. 201-794-3900). Once you've heard the R-S33, you'll have no doubts about which receiver gives you the most for your money.
