What you see here is the result of twelve years of devotion to the development and production of the most revolutionary and highest quality components in the audio industry. This is not the usual self-seeking statement by a biased manufacturer- to prove it, ask anyone who knows SAE. But, it is not only uniqueness that sets SAE products so far apart from their competitors. It is a goal that SAE established long ago--a goal which states that it is manufacturing excellence as well as design that makes a product truly great. The following points out the realization of this goal in our product. AMPLIFIERS The complete line of SAE Stereo Power Amplifiers is the product of one heritage in both design and construction. The unique, fully complementary design system provides balanced amplification from input to output. This approach yields lower steady state and transient distortion as well as better overload recovery. To realize the full benefits of this unique design approach, every SAE amplifier is built with the same high quality materials throughout. The use of Mil-Spec parts, G-10 glass epoxy boards and hand selected critical components at every level ensures that the superior design results in superior products. PREAMPLIFIERS A bold research and development program by our engineering staff has resulted in the introduction of the first integrated circuit (IC) designed specifically for audio applications. Extremely low distortion, low noise characteristics and fast overload recovery have made it ideally suited for preamp applications. To realize the full benefits of this innovative IC, a completely new phono circuit has been developed. This new multi-stage phono circuit requires less gain from each individual stage and results in lower transient distortion, more accurate tracking of the RIAA curve, and also provides much lower interface interaction with the phono cartridge itself. Besides sonic excellence, careful attention has been paid to human engineering- our preamplifiers provide the optimum in signal flow flexibility to complement their sonic excellence. PARAMETRIC EQUALIZERS The parametric approach to tone modification stands as a revolutionary advancement in equalizers for consumer products. Our parametric equalizers control not only cut and boost, as in conventional systems, but also bandwidth and center frequency. This unique combination of controls provides for tonal modification never before thought possible. ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS These components complement our line of amplifiers, preamps and equalizers. They include a digital readout FM tuner with linear phase IF filters and phase-lock multiplex; an Electronic Crossover for biamplification, which will reduce distortion in even the best speaker system; an Impulse Noise Reduction System, the system that takes over where every other noise reduction system leaves off, by providing dramatic reduction of the impulse noises (clicks and pops) that occur in common play back of records; and our new Time Delay Ambience System, to recreate the live performance previously beyond reach in the home environment. CONCLUSION As you can see, the goal of advanced design and manufacturing excellence has created the finest audio products in the world. The goal is supported by an ongoing R & D program and by a large modern production facility using the latest techniques in circuit board and mechanical fabrication. With constant supervision of assembly and testing, SAE products offer performance, value and consistency-functional, state-of-the-art, and without question, Components for the Connoisseur.
