able In operation and possess a long working

orously tested and undergoes strict final inspec-

Trio does not believe in using the "most con-
venient calibration methods to obtain visually
impressive data. For example: DIN FM sensi-
tivity values "look better" than lHF (Institute of
High Fidelity. U.S.A.) values. An lHF sensitivity
of 1.5 microvolts is therefore, in reality, better
than a DIN 1.5 microvolts sensitivity. Another
example: Trio amplifier power output ratings do
not relate only to a measuring frequency of
1000 Hz, but covers the whole audio range of
20 Hz-20,000 Hz.

Convenlence of operation
Every Trio product comes complete with a well
designed, detailed instruction manual. The oper-
ating and control functions are clearly set out
and fully explained, thus enabling you to use
your Trio equipment to its full potential.

Senelble, functlonal etyllng
The aim of Trio's design team was to create a
styling concept which visually reflects the high
level of technology present in all Trio products.
Devoid of unnecessary ornamentation, the styl-
ing is purely functional and, as such, creates a
professional effect which, in itself, is stylish.

The High Fldellty oblectlve
Whether you like listening to classical music.
jazz, organ music or progressive rock, every
piece of Trio equipment will remain true to the
high fidelity objective.
This, of course, is the reproduction of program-
me material in a manner as close as possible
to the original sound. Trio amplifiers ensure
natural, uniform, well located sound right across
the audible hearing range of 20 Hz-20 KHz.
Because the tone colour of every musical
instrument is determined by the number and
volume of its overtones or harmonics, it is vital
that these do not suffer from frequency blend-
Ing".
If an instrument gives out a soft, bright, hard or
velvety tone, it must remain thus when repro-
duced. This also applies to vocal reproduction.
Therefore, particular attention is paid to any
adverse effects which may interfere with tonal
accuracy; these include harmonic, intermodu-
Iation and phase distortion.
