MD-100 FM Tuner

[ + Larger View ]

MSRP $1900

The MD-100 replaces the well-known and reviewed Etude FM Tuner.  Although sad, we are happy to say that the MD-100 not only meets the performance of the Etude but surpasses it in many ways and is sure to become the new 'best in its class' FM Tuner.

Features:

  • Dual, keyed automatic gain control (AGC) - Monitors and maintains program signal level and clarity, along with providing a dramatic reduction in interference from strong, local stations.
  • BW 1/ BW 2 bandwidth control - Switchable to effectively control annoying sideband interference.
  • Mute circuit - noise-activated with manual defeat switch.
  • Auto Blend RF circuit - automatically monitors and varies stereo separation insuring optimal "stereo quieting" during your listening sessions.
  • Stereo/Mono Mode - User switchable.
  • Digital frequency display - Independent frequency counter derives input from tuner's local oscillator section and displays in soft, amber 0.5" LED numerals.
  • Balanced Outputs-allows Felxibility in system design
  • Precision Flywheel Tuning -gives accuracy and ease of tuning.
  • Specialty Capacitors in Analog Section -insures total frequency response.
  • WBT unbalanced RCA output connectors -low tolerance connector made of highly ductile "OFC" copper, 24 carat gold-plated; insures a solid contact for interconnects.
