  • TRUE HIGH FIDELITY RECORD AND RADIO RECEPTION

    The new S.T.C "Capehart HI-FI" incorporates all the special techniques essential to high-fidelity reproduction of recorded music. Foremost among these is the exclusive S.T.C. "Equisonic" speaker system. Operated by a high powered amplifier, this speaker system re-creates with concert-hall fidelity the living music that is in your records. A further refinement is the independent bass and treble controls which enables you to obtain the tone level that gives greatest listening pleasure. (Record changer Collaro RC54)

    SHORT WAVE RECEPTION EQUAL TO LOCAL BROADCASTS

    The Capehart HI-FI" also opens up a great new world of radio entertainment. By means of band-spread, the "Magic Fan" Electronic Tuning Indicator and powerful 8-valve receiver, you can tune in overseas short-wave stations (4.8 to 15.6 MHz, & three bandspread ranges covering the 31, 25 and 19 metre bands.) as easily as local stations and with a clarity and power that will astonish and delight you. Magnificently housed in a superbly finished cabinet, the "Capehart HI-FI" brings radio and record entertainment to the very peak of perfection.
