THE FISHER FUTURA V

MODEL F-59

Slereophonic Radio-Phonograph

Youit new Future V is a product of the worlds In t highly
regarded manufacturer of high fidelity components. Fl. cr units,
long favored by music lovers of discriminating taste. have also
proven themselves in the demanding cnviromm-nts of laboratnr s.
broadcast studios and government agencies. Professional mus'cians.
mlnprising a significant number of Fisher patrons, join with musical
connoisseurs from all walks of life in praise of the wrisimilituth-
created by Fisher component-quality consolo.

All modes of high fidelity, both stereo- and monophonic are pro.
vided for in the circuits of your Future. The unusually sensitive
tuncr can be used for the reception of AM, FM, and multiplexed FM
stereo broadcasts: its multiplex circuits are fully integrated; not
merely electronic add-ens. The famous STEREO BEACON shows
whether or not a station is broadcasting in FM stereo and automati-
cally switches the instrument between storeophonic and monaural
modes of operation, as needed. The MICRO-RAY tuning indicator
makes precise tuning virtually automatic for anyone. Ten controls.
including a Speaker Selector, AM bandwidth switch, and Loudness
Contour switch, enable you to select any program source instantly.
and to adjust volume and tonal characteristics to your taste. Special
connections are provided for the FISHER SrAcExrANnnnJt and WS-l
Wide-SurroundE speakers. An aulomatic shut-off feature turns off
the entire instrument after the last record has been played. The new
transistorized 75-watt stereo power amplifier represents an important

advance in the design of high fidelity components By eliminating
the output transformers and matching the output circuits to the
rlraraetcristi ' of the two three-way speaker systems, a remarkably
true and clean reproduction of the most complex orchestral passages
is achieved.

Flawless circuitry. the use of costly, durable materials, and unbur-
riotl mauufaolurc-essontial constituents of quality which are too
often lost in mass productianall of these will contribute to years
of trouble-free operation and to your greater listening pleasure. These
are the attributes which have. for twenty-five years. created the world-
wide FISHER reputation.

WHAT IS STEREOPHONIC SOUND?

S'rsucoruomc souNu (stereo) is a method of reproducing sound by
means of two independent channels, left and right, so that a
spatial feeling of direction and depth is recreated. It is the extension
of high fidelity sound into three dimensions. in fact, it offers the
closest approach to true high fidelity (faithfulness to the original)
that modern technology has yet achieved. Thus, good stereophonie
sound is high fidelity in the best sense of the term

This feeling of dimension is lost with monophonic (single channel)
reproduction, because our ears help determine direction only if each
