The Technics SA-5400X. 4-amplifier 4-channel and 4-amplifier 2-channel.
Technics doesn't force you to choose between 2-channel or 4-channel. We give you both in one unit. The SA-5400X. It's a very impressive 4-channel receiver.
Each of its 4 amplifiers delivers 11 watts RMS, 8 ohm, each channel driven. And its full discrete capabilities include jacks for a CD-4 demodulator. Plus jacks for both 4-channel and 2-channel tape sources. And two tape monitor circuit.
There are also two different matrix decoding circuits that can handle all the popular matrix methods.
The 3A-5400X is a great 2-channel receiver, too. Because it has Balanced Transformerless (BTU circuitry. Cur special way of strapping the front and rear amplifiers in tandem for 4-amplifier 2-channel. Which more than doubles the power per channel in stereo.
Producing 25 watts RMS per charnel (each channel driven) at 8 ohm. The amplifiers all have direct-coupled circuitry which vastly improves their low-frequency performance and power bandwidth.
And a special phono-equalizer circuit so you can use virtually any kind of phono cartridge efficiently.
There's also a very potent FM section that boasts sensitivity of 2.0. uV (IHF).
With a 4-pole MOS FET and IF amplifiers whose ceramic filters yield 65 dB selectivity.
We knew you'd have a hard time trying to make up your mind about which kind of receiver to buy. So we put both 2-channel and 4-channel in one easy-to-afford unit.
The SA-5400 X. The concept is simple. The execution is precise. The performance is outstanding. The name is Technics.
