How Magnavox is helping to clear the air in Los Angeles.
The airwaves over Los Angeles are thick with signals from 78 FM stations, all squeezed into 20 MHz of spectrum.
Other urban centers are no better. But Magnavox has found a way through the sound smog, to help you find and pull in just the station you want--even if it's butted up against one that's lots more powerful.
Our bright idea: the 1500 Plus DTI, the first stereo FM/AM receiver with digital tuning. It counts, latches, decodes and displays in large glowing numerals the exact frequency you're tuned to FM or AM--with the accuracy you'd expect from a digital computer. Which, in fact, is how we do it after our MOSFET front end and ICs clear the air.
Once in, the scrubbed signal is boosted by an amplifier stage that typically delivers 50/50 watts rms (into 8 ohms) at only 0.5% distortion. Direct-coupled output, of course, for full damping at any frequency.
Other goodies: linear phase lump-constant filters for minimum distortion on FM, an active tone-compensation network, full-function jack panel, 4-channel matrix decoder, and a thermal protection circuit that shuts the set off if it's ever overloaded-then shows you why it shut off.
What price pure air? $419.95. Other Magnavox high-performance receivers, with zero-center tuning meters, start at $169.95. Your Magnavox dealer is listed in the Yellow Pages. Visit him today, and hear what clear air sounds like.
