FISHER INVENTED HIGH FIDELITY. NOW OUR RS1058 IS IMPROVING IT.
Today's music is more demanding than ever. Recording engineers easily capture the raw power as well as the subtle nuances of rock, classical and contemporary music. Playback of those recordings requires equipment of the highest caliber.
The RS1058 delivers 90 watts per channel minimum RMS continuous power output, both channels driven into 8 ohms, from 20-20,000 Hz with no more than 0.1% total harmonic distortion.
The RS1058 will produce discotheque sound pressure levels with practically any loudspeaker system. Equally important is its ability to combine high power output and low distortion with excellent dynamic range, transient reproduction, signal to-noise ratio and stereo separation.
CAPTURE THE EXCITEMENT OF MUSIC.
A receiver's power supply is responsible for the excitement of music. It must recreate music's dynamic range, as well as the instantaneous bursts of sonic energy, called transients, of a live performance.
Some stereo receivers use a relatively small, inexpensive power supply for each channel. The RS1058 overcomes such limitations with a single low-impedance power supply capable of delivering its total voltage output (180 watts RMS) instantly to either channel as required by the music. Such a power supply results in significantly more reserve power for reproducing music's full dynamic range, and its transients for greater realism-not only at loud listening levels, but at normal listening levels as well.
LOWER DISTORTION FOR INCREASED REALISM.
The human ear is capable of discerning extremely fine differences between recorded and live music.
For this reason Fisher engineers painstakingly pursued every opportunity to reduce distortion and extraneous interference to its absolute minimum. Intermodulation and total harmonic distortion are kept below 0.1% at full output.
EXTREME TUNER SENSITIVITY.
FM performance of the RS1058 can only be described as impressive. Usable sensitivity of 1.7 microvolts, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 75 dB rival the most expensive receivers available. The RS1058 tuner utilizes an FM front end featuring a 4-gang tuning section AGC-controlled, dual-gate MOS-FET RF stage for highly selective, noise-and interference-free reception. Exceptional stereo separation and clarity, extremely low distortion and maximum noise rejection are achieved by a phase-locked-loop FM multiplex decoder.
The large signal strength meter is provided for proper antenna orientation and coarse tuning, the center-of-channel meter pin-points station tuning.
HIGH FIDELITY CONTROL FLEXIBILITY.
All controls and indicators of the RS1058 are engineered to maximize utility and ease of operation.
The RS1058 features two phono inputs, two tape inputs and three speaker connections. The tape monitor control facilitates copying from one tape deck to another, and a front panel jack allows instant connection of an auxiliary tape deck. Baxandall tone controls deliver large amounts of bass and treble boost or cut, without affecting mid frequencies.
High and low filters with sharp roll-off characteristics can be engaged to cut extraneous noise and the speakers are protected by a relay circuit.
FORTY YEARS OF INNOVATION.
Fisher started the high fidelity industry in 1937, and introduced the first stereo receiver in 1959. That tradition of technological leadership continues with the RS1058 Studio Standard receiver.
When you consider the price, about $550? the specifications of the RS1058 become even more impressive. Fisher components are available at fine audio stores or the audio department of better department stores.
