Sony steadfastly refuses to let Brunhilde overpower Mimi.
Music comes in big, loud, powerful varieties and in small, weak, delicate types. So, as it happens, do FM stations. If you have your heart set on listening to Mimi on a weak station, while some powerful, nearby station on the dial is thundering out Wagner, relax! Sony receivers are dedicated to the proposition that the little stations of the world deserve their fair share of the MHz. And Sony is possessed of a rare talent for bringing in the weak sister stations.
To bring in the weakest of stations without intrusion by stronger ones, Sony's FM front end includes newly developed junction FETs in its mixer and RF stages. The IF section has permanently aligned, solid-state filters and a high gain IC limiter for excellent selectivity and superb capture ratios.
And Sony receivers deliver clean, distortion-free power from low, low bass (where you need it) right through the highest frequencies. (We rate amplifier power in terms of "continuous power output per channel with both channels driving 8-ohm loads within the entire audio spectrum"). For example, from 20Hz to 20kHz for the 7065, 7055, 6046A and 6036A receivers.
Direct coupling means no output coupling capacitors to get between you and the music.
Sony receivers satisfy a wide variety of listening needs. Our STR-7065 (60+ 60W RMS from 20Hz to 20kHz with less than 0.2% distortion) plucks stations from even the most crowded dials with its excellent sensitivity and remarkable 1 dB capture ratio! You can click in your choice of three speaker pairs, monitor two tape recorders, dub directly and mix one or two stereo microphones. Function indicator lights and a preamp-out/amp-in connection are welcome conveniences. $499.50.* The 7055 has all the features of the 7065 except mic mixing, function lights and signal strength meter. A bit less power, (35+35watts 20Hz to 20kHz with less than 0.2% distortion), and an exceptional tuner section. $399.50.* Our new STR-6046A represents a new standard in its power output and price category. Output is 20±20W RMS (20Hz to 20kHz) with THD less than 0.8%. A tuner section with2.2µV IHF sensitivity, and 1.5dB capture ratio! Features include mic input and line mixing facilities, tape monitoring, function indicator lights and choice of two speaker pairs. $249.50.* Our under $200, STR-6036A is conservatively rated at 15H-15W RMS (20Hz to 20kHz). It has all the facilities of the 6046A except the mic mixing control and function lights. A remarkable 1.5 dB capture ratio is a clue to the tuner's impressive performance, $199.50.* An all-around, 4-channel performer, the SQR-6650-SQ, the other matrix systems and discrete (with quad tape deck). It features Double-Stacked Differential circuitry for extra power in stereo. $329.50.* The only thing overpowering about Sony receivers is the value they offer. Hear them at your Sony dealer. Prices include walnut finish cabinets. Sony Corporation of America, 9 West 57th St. New York, New York 10019.
