Or How Two Units Combine For Even Greater Value SCA-80, STEREO 80; PAT-4 We have always tried to give outstanding value at Dynaco; and when we work on new designs, our primary objectives are quality and value-quality second to none, and prices far below the levels of competitive quality. Following this philosophy, we have designed our newest power amplifier, the transistorized Stereo 80, in the tradition of the famous Dynaco Stereo 70--extreme reliability, conservative operation and specifications, outstanding quality, and moderate price. The Stereo 80 is compact (it fits any remote space, but is handsome enough to keep on display), cool-running, simple, and elegant. It delivers 40 watts continuous power per channel, with both channels operating simultaneously, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The Stereo 80 and our PAT-4 preamplifier create an outstanding combination which delivers crystal clear sound, free of noise and distortion, and with excellent flexibility as the control center for the most complete hi-fi installation. Further, we have combined these units into a single, transistorized integrated package, the SCA-80, and through careful design have achieved SYNERGISM, the combination giving even greater value than the sum of its parts. The SCA-80 has all the qualities of the Stereo 80 plus the performance and many of the features of the PAT-4--center-out tone controls, low noise, multiple input facilities, headphone output, center-speaker output without the need for a separate amplifier, and so on. It provides complete control facility and yet it is simple to operate with a basic two-knob control action for those who do not require sophisticated features such as loudness, filters, blending, and other subtle variations. The SCA-80 gives quality plus compact flexibility. The Stereo 80 plus the PAT-4 gives quality, increased flexibility for installation, and greater range of control function. The Stereo 120 plus the PAT-4 gives all this plus extra power plus the benefits of a stabilized highly filtered power supply which makes performance independent of power line variations. In all these choices, quality and value are outstanding-and in the SCA-80, the synergistic benefit enhances the value of the unit. *SYNERGISM--Cooperative action of discrete agencies such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the two effects taken independently . . . dynaco -- 3060 JEFFERSON ST., PHILA., PA. 19121 IN EUROPE WRITE: DYNACO A /S, HUMLUM, STRUER, DENMARK ----------- (High Fidelity) Also see:
