Nikko Audio Puts It All Together for Your Professional Component System
Nikko builds more than outstanding professional components and separates. And for good reason.
Firstly, we don't think stereo gear of any sort should be spread willy-nilly over the studio.
Secondly, we've created these designer -crafted hand -rubbed walnut veneer equipment rocks. And in keeping with our professional attitude, two of the hardwood cabinets are 19-inch standard width.
Thirdly, we've mode it possible for you to assemble three fantastic custom packages to fit the cabinet of your choice.
End of commercial on cabinets.
We now invite you to read about a few of Nikko Audio's newest electronic products.
As with every Nikko Audio product features abound in the NT -850 (far top), an AM/ FM stereo tuner.
A switchable (normal/narrow) IF band and advanced circuitry ore employed to insure low distortion, signal stability, maximum stereo separation and outstanding reception.
Below the tuner is the NA 850 integrated stereo amplifier. It delivers 60 watts, continuous power output, minimum RMS per channel, driven into 8 ohms from 20 to 20kHz, with no more than 0.05% Take a hard look at the cabinet below with the Gamma I stereo FM broadcast monitoring tuner. A simply remarkable product.
It has a switchable wide and narrow IF stage for low distortion, high sensitivity (1.8µV) and the ability to pull in distant stations with clarity.
Nikko Audio's ultra-slim stereo preamp, the Beta II, has both an input equalizer and amp circuit powered by independently regulated voltage supply to help eliminate interference distortion. There is no end to its professional features.
Each dual power supply on the Alpha II power amplifier has dual filters to eliminate channel crosstalk and improve stereo separation. Exterior heat sinks keep the amp running cool, necessary when it delivers 110 watts per channel, continuous power output, minimum RMS into 8 ohms, from 20Hz to 20kHz, with no more than 0.03% THD. The heavyweight of the new Nikko Audio professional gear is the Alpha I basic stereo power amplifier, shown in the bottom cabinet.
However, there is nothing really basic internally about the Alpha I. It uses o 3 -stage Darlington direct-coupled OCL, pure -complementary quadruple push-pull circuit, rarely found on anything less than exotic amp circuits.
The Alpha I delivers 220 watts per channel, continuous power output minimum RMS per channel into 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz, both channels driven. THD is 0.08%. The revolutionary Beta I preamp's circuitry consists entirely of high-voltage FET's. It's a mate to the Alpha I and is DC and non-coupling for better frequency response.
The Gamma I stereo FM tuner also appears in the lower cabinet below the Beta I stereo preamplifier.
Now, that's enough product and specs to satisfy the most discerning audiophile and professional.
Ask your Nikko Audio dealer for a definitive tour of the new Nikko product line.
