CREEK T43 AM/FM TUNER
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
version method of retrieving radio
signals, which combined with a
single stage broadly tuned front-
end, allows the T43 to pick out
weak stations from the airwaves
when they are closely situated in
frequency to a strong local station.
Local AFC also allows the digital
bus to be switched-off when not in
use, maintaining even lower levels
of digital interference to the radio
signal.
Surface mount technology
and the use of double sided plated
through hole printed circuit boards
provide a high level of interference
suppression and help to achieve
professional levels of performance.
To create the simplicity of
operation and custom features like
remote control, rotary tuning and
pre-sets, Creek wrote
custom soft-
ware
to drive all the controls via a
two wire digital bus. All the active
devices in the T43 are controlled
by this digital bus, which allows
the design of the tuner to be
updated by changing the codes in
the microcontroller. Future
upgrades, or changes of country
settings are made easy as thesecustom features and station pre-
sets are held in a non-volatile
memory, similar to that of a PC
computer.
Since its release in the middle
of 1997, the T43 has won praise,
from all that have
used it, for its
novel features
and breathtaking
sound quality.
What Hi-Fi were
even persuaded
to describe its
addictive quality
as a reason to re-
think the idea of
radio as a purely
backgroundmusic medium. The open and
dynamic sound capabilities of the
T43 are only restricted by the
quality of the aerial antenna used
and the source quality from the
radio station.
