,F ITIHE MAGNTFIcENcE of old-world cabinet craftsmanship has been I combined with the latest products of advanced electronic engineer- ing to create the new FISHER Philharmonic -a musical instrument that meets the most exacting criteria. Each section in the Philharmonic has been designed to meet the laboratory standards that distinguish all FISHER components. The unusually sensitive tuner can be used for AM and FM, and for multiplexed FM stereo reception when the optional plug-in adaptor is installed. Six controls enable you to select any program source instantly and to adjust volume and tonal char- acteristics to your taste. The renowned Garrard record changer and diamond stylus cartridge convey faithfully every musical nuance of monophonic or stereophonic records. Special connections are providedTHE FISHER PHITHAR'NONIC IV MODET P-29 Stereophon ic Rqdio-Phonogroph for the FISHER WS-l Wide Surround speakers. Twenty watts of music power, free of all audible distortion, are supplied by a dual-channel stereophonic power amplifier which reproduces a complex orchestral passage as easily as the delicate tones of an oboe, Two acoustically- balanced three-way speaker systems recreate the dynamics and spacious- ness of the modern orchestra as only stereophonic sound reproduction makes possible. Flawless circuitry, the use of costly, carefully selected materials, and unhurried manufacture - essential constituents'of quality which are too often lost in mass production - all of these will contribute to years of trouble-free operation and to your greater listening pleasure. These are the attributes which have, {or over twenty-five years, created the world-wide FISHER reDutation.
