Introducing the world's most powerful receiver. 165 watts RMS per channel.
With the world's least distortion.
The Technics SA-5760. That's more power than any other receiver in the world. And an even more important specification, 0.08% THD (Max.) That's less distortion than any other receiver in the world at rated power.
To achieve this unequaled power and uncompromising performance, we used single-packaged dual transistors in the differential amplifier stage of each channel.. As well as high capacitance filtering and a bridged rectifier with high current reserve. And the amplifier is also direct coupled, with no transformers or capacitors from input to output.
There's also heavy power supply regulation. So transient bursts in one channel remain isolated from the other.
And you'll hear your records precisely the way 'they were recorded. Thanks to "current mirror loading"--a radically new circuit found in the phono equalizer section of the SA-5760's pre-amp. The results are impressive. Double the amplifier gain. An unsurpassed S/N ratio of 78dB. A frequency response that's accurate to within ±0.2dB of the ideal RIAA equalization curve. And an overload-resistant input that will sail through high-level signal inputs with out a trace of distortion.
For FM performance, we didn't just settle for outstanding specifications in selectivity, sensitivity and interference rejection. We also use flat group delay filters in the IF section so that the time delay is constant for all frequencies. That means the signal being broadcast is the signal you'll receive and without phase distortion.
And there's a Phase Locked Loop-IC which improves tuner performance even more. Like a well-defined 38dB of stereo separation at 10kHz and much higher at mid-band.
Inaudible distortion. A frequency response that actually exceeds the response of FM broadcasts (±0.2dB--0.8dB from 20Hz to 18kHz with the exclusive delay time switch in the CONST position). As well as a S/N ratio of 85dB for super-quiet FM broadcasts.
The SA-5760's controls are as sophisticated as its circuitry. A 26-step true attenuator click-stop Volume control. Calibrated from -60 to 0-dB. Low distortion negative feed back tone controls with turnover selectors for both the 10-W end and high end frequencies. A linear FM/AM dial scale.
A zero-center tuning meter for FM as--well as a truly linear signal-strength meter for AM and FM that works the way other meters don't accurately.
There are also multiple speaker and amplifier protection circuits, with a front panel overload indicator. Two-way tape-to-tape dubbing. Two phono inputs, with variable impedance selectors. for each. And all the inputs and outputs you'd expect from the world's most powerful receiver.
And to complement the SA-5760, Technics has five other receivers. Each with excellent power. Outstanding performance. Sophisticated- circuitry. And at a good-price. The concept 'is simple. The execution is precise. The performance is outstanding. The name is Technics.
165 watts, per channel, minimum RMS, into 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz with no more than 0.08% THD (total harmonic distortion).
