STR-6550A
Commentary

An FM/AM stereo receiver with improved overall performance while maintaining its usability as a receiver.
Model changed from STR-6550.

The amplifier section uses a high-power IC developed especially for audio.
By using two power supplies (direct coupling method), the required output can be obtained at a low distortion rate.

Two microphones or a one point stereo microphone can be used as a stereo loudspeaker device.
In addition, it is equipped with a mixing device that can send microphone sound, record sound, FM broadcast sound, and tape sound together. You can edit the tape while adding narration. In addition, you can fade in and fade out the microphone using the mixing volume.

A newly developed junction FET is used for the front end of the tuner section.
In addition, a 2-element 1-package solid-state filter is used for the IF section, so that it can clearly receive weak broadcasts next to powerful stations.

A coil unit is used in the FM multiplex circuit to achieve nearly perfect blocking and improve stereo distortion and separation characteristics.

A new approach to gain allocation has been introduced to reduce unpleasant noise generated during tuning operation from station to station as well as with muting.

The AM tuner section uses a triple chain IFT including a solid state filter to improve beat interference, distortion, interference, noise, etc.

Equipped with a speaker selector switch that can be used by switching between 2 sets of speakers.

The preamp and main amp can be used separately.
Therefore, it can be upgraded to a multi-amplifier system.

Equipped with a loudness switch, it is effective even in the case of low volume such as late night.

Equipped with NF-type tone control.

Equipped with a high filter switch to cut out high-frequency noise.

The character displayed on the dial screen changes in conjunction with the function switch.

Equipped with pure electronic stereo, automatic monaural switching and stereo display lamp.

Equipped with a balanced volume.
