Mitsubishi has put big audio performance into a series of precise little packages.
Micro-components.
Stereo components that are compact. But can hardly be called compacts.
They have the same high performance characteristics as our regular size components. They have to. They're Mitsubishi.
The Micro FM tuner, for one. It's the teeniest tuner in the world. A mere 10 5/8"x 2 3/4"x 9 3/4 "big. However, few tuners can measure up to its standards. It has, among other things, a quartz-PLL synthesizer tuning system so sophisticated that it has absolutely no drift. Zilch.
We were no less frugal with features on our Micro Cassette Deck. It has an Automatic Spacing Pause System, Dual Capstan Drive, Separate 3-way Bias and Equalization Feather-Touch Controls and of course, Dolby. Yet measures only 10 5/8"x 5 1/2"x 9 5/8" For power, the Micro Amp is unbeatable at this size.
The little "direct coupled" powerhouse puts out 70 watts per channel. Total harmonic distortion is only 0.01%. For 30 watts per channel, it's an infinitesimal 0.004%. Our Micro Preamp is made to complement the amp. And faithfully conduct any signal source that goes through it. It has a built-in moving-coil head amplifier.
With a signal-to-noise ratio of 77dB even for 100µV input and 0.005% THD, it obviously does the job better than components twice its size.
Small wonder the final touch was to finish them with Champagne Gold face plates.
The new Mitsubishi micro-components.
Now bigger isn't better.
Only bigger.
