Commentary

STA Series high power FM/AM receiver.

NIKKO's audio linear IC is used in the equalizer amplifier section to improve various characteristics.

The power supply voltage is increased to expand the dynamic range.

A newly developed low-distortion high-power transistor realizes a 50W music power.

A low-distortion ultra-straight double-diffused transistor is used for the output circuit that affects sound quality.

Adopts NIKKO's newly developed DC balance circuit.

The front-end of the FM tuner uses a dual-gate FET to improve performance.
A monolithic IC is used for the IF stage, enabling high sensitivity, high selectivity and wide-band amplification.

It uses an automatic switching type FM multiplex circuit. When a stereo signal is received, it automatically switches to stereo and the stereo signal indicator lights up.

A muting circuit is installed to reduce background noise during channel selection.

The AM tuner section also uses FET to improve the characteristics.

A NW-type circuit breaker developed by NIKKO is used for the protection circuit.
