Totally Nakamichi ... any way you look at it.
The Nakamichi 600 Series components and the SYSTEM ONE rack bring a new approach to system high fidelity-a bold concept distinctly ahead of its time. Performance and quality are totally Nakamichi with standards of excellence not likely to be matched for years to come.
Unlike professional rack-mounted equipment, SYSTEM ONE is compact, slim, decidedly non-industrial in appearance, and fits comfortably into any decor. The specially designed rack features a multipurpose digital timer that augments the system's inherent versatility by providing several unattended automatic functions. Immediate rear access greatly simplifies inter-component wiring, and thanks to four heavy-duty precision casters, the rack easily glides anywhere. Plug it into any AC outlet, hook up a pair of loudspeakers (and a turntable, if desired)-almost instantly, you've created a complete and incredibly impressive stereo system.
There are four superb components in the 600 Series: the 600 Cassette Console, the 610 Control Preamplifier, the 620 Power Amplifier and the newly introduced 630 FM Tuner Preamplifier.
SYSTEM ONE
The 630 is the unusual and versatile combination of a state-of-the-art preamplifier and a highly advanced FM tuner. The preamp section features outstanding phono circuitry, tone and variable contour controls, tape deck monitor and copy facilities and a high-output headphone amplifier. The FM section utilizes an elaborate hand-wired MOSFET front end, low phase shift IF filters, and an extremely stable phase-locked-loop multiplex demodulator.
There are also switches for FM Dolby and narrow/wide filter selection. Precise tuning indicator lamps and the large-scale, balanced vernier dial make station selection a breeze. The amazing thing is that the 630 is available at a price that you would normally expect to pay for such a fine tuner or preamp alone. It can be connected directly to the 620 Power Amplifier, or, if your needs so dictate, used in conjunction with the 610 Control Preamplifier.
Of course, you can get your Nakamichi act together with out the SYSTEM ONE rack. Each of the 600 Series components is a study in human engineering; their gracefully sloped panels make them ideal for table or shelf placement.
Your particular system can be precisely the combination that best suits your needs. Start with the 600, 620, and 630--a formidable trio of no-compromise performers. A 610 can be added for increased programming flexibility, or a second 620 (with the optional Bridging Adapter) for greater power requirements.
So take your Nakamichi’s standing up or lying down. Either way, you have components that make a lot of sense by themselves, and even more together.
Your Nakamichi dealer will be proud to give you a demonstration.
