  • IMPRESARIO 9-VALVE PERFORMANCE STEREOGRAM

    Yes, at the turn of a dial, the Impresario 7 valve broadcast and shortwave bandspread stereogram introduces you to an entirely new depth in glorious stereophonic sound. Sound is enriched in Impresario's carefully hand-wired chassis. It pours out to you through dual 8MX twin-cone speakers designed for capturing and reproducing signals at their highest and lowest frequencies. Separate Base, Treble, and Loudness/Balance controls let you blend the sound precisely to your liking. The Impresario cabinet, in mahogany veneer, is an acoustical masterpiece in itself.

    Impresario provides extended broadcast coverage and shortwave reception from 11 metres to 49 metres on four spread bands. (A fifth band covers the standard broadcast 530kHz to 1605 kHz.) The gram unit is the highly praised Garrard RC210, with a 4-speed changer.
