AA-11 Deluxe Stereo Preamplifier
Features
A Masterpiece in design and performance! ... This New Deluxe STEREO PREAMPLIFIER
Beautifully designed to match the acclaimed styling concept of the top of the Heathkit high-fidelity line, the new AA-11 Deluxe Stereo Preamplifier brings you every feature you've ever wanted in a "master-control" center. Both non-technical music lover and technically-inclined audio-phile alike will applaud its many refined features, professional quality performance and exceptional simplicity of operation. A real beauty designed for installation in the most elaborate of stereophonic systems.
To achieve both clean-lined design and simplicity of operation, all switches and controls are divided into two distinct groups; the first group is the basic, or primary, controls, which are located on the plastic front panel. The other group is composed of secondary controls which are located behind the hinged cover on the lower front panel. The primary controls consist of nine push-button switches for selection of five stereo inputs, three monophonic inputs and on/off switch; a dual-tandem VOLUME/LOUDNESS control (one knob) which varies volume level of both left and right channels simultaneously, and separate dual-concentric (friction clutched) Baxandall-type Bass and Treble controls for individual channel adjustment.
The primary switches allow fast, easy selection of (1) stereo phonograph (magnetic or ceramic); (2) stereo tape head; (3) stereo microphone; (4) stereo FM; (5) stereo auxiliary input; (6) monophonic AM tuner; (7) monophonic FM tuner; (8) monophonic auxiliary; and (9) OFF/ON switch. All equalization circuits are switched simultaneously by the program source selector buttons.
The secondary controls consist of (1) a BLEND control which varies from complete mixing of the left and right channel signals for monophonic output to complete separation for stereophonic listening, or any intermediate position to provide just the right amount of "center-fill" to eliminate the "hole-in-the-middle" effect; (2) a BALANCE control for adjusting channel outputs to equal amplitudes; (3) a SCRATCH FILTER switch to attenuate record surface noise; (4) a RUMBLE FILTER switch to attenuate turntable rumble; (5) a STEREO-MONO switch for monophonic record reproduction; (6) a CHANNEL REVERSAL switch to insure that each loudspeaker reproduces the correct stereo channel; (7) a PHASE REVERSAL switch to insure in-phase stereo speakers; and (8) a VOLUME-LOUDNESS switch which converts the volume control to a loudness control. The unique filter circuit employed for this purpose is so effective in maintaining proper tonal balance, even at exceptionally low background music levels, that correct and simultaneous adjustment of both volume and loudness may be achieved with a single control over its entire range . . . and it eliminates confusion when operated by a person unfamiliar with its function. Check the high performance specifications, convenience features and many extras you get at the amazingly low price of this quality preamplifier.
