Magnum Dynalab MD-208 Brochure

The MD 208, a Descrete Audio Receiver, was built for the customer who wants the highest
level of music reprodution. A one of a kind receiver which will make your listening dreams
come true with fuller, more musical sound.

The three sections of the MD 208 RECEIVER are contained and hard wired in a rigid chassis, thereby
eliminating noise, losses and coloration of the sound caused by interconnect cables and connectors.

Magnum Dynalab, with its years of experience in the FM tuner, preamplifier and amplifier business, has
designed this RECEIVER combining the key design elements in each of the three discrete sections (FM
tuner, preamplifier, amplifier). To ensure that the separate sections operate in isolation, the tuner and
amplifier have their own shielded torroidal transformer. This MD 208 RECEIVER will outperform many
combinations of separate components that cost considerably more.

The operation of the MD 208 RECEIVER is further enhanced by the user friendly full function remote
control.

We have also designed the MD 208 RECEIVER so that each of the individual sections can be operated
independently to add to the flexibility of the MD 208.

The MD 208 RECEIVER will be right at home either being used as your primary high performance sound
system, part of your surround sound system or as a second system where you want high performance
but would like the simplicity of an all-in-one package.

A switchable Home Theater input has been added to the MD208. Allowing you to utilize the MD208 in a
Home Theater situation.

The MD208 actually becomes your stand alone amplifier for your main left and right speakers. The
MD208 also allows total volume control through this input by an external surround processor.

TUNER SECTION

Magnum Dynalab has designed, for the MD 208, a special tuner section that reproduces the SOUND
which places the listener "front row center." Around the world people have come to expect this
performance from all Magnum Dynalab's FM tuners. Because of our commitment to great SOUND we
have continued with an ANALOG FM tuner design for the MD 208.

FEATURES and BENEFITS

- precise tuning to give the best reception (thus sound)Analog tuning

- provides station separation without affecting sound (in-house Magnum

design)

Four stage front end

-- Automatically monitors and adjusts stereo separation to maximise
"stereo quieting", insuring the quietest stereo signal as possible. Greatly improving your listening
quality.

Auto Blend RF Circuit

- ensures consistent

specifications for adjacent channel separation, alternate channel separation and low distortion

Precision tunable matched IF (intermediate frequency) amplifiers

- easy to read to assist in operating the MD 208Analog meters

- reduces the noise floor of the receiver so that the

quietest musical passages can be enjoyed

AMPLIFIER SECTION

The amplifier in the MD 208 would be right at home operating either as a separate component in a high
end stereo or surround sound system. The design criteria used is identical to that in the "top of the
line" stand alone amplifers, giving you the customer the resolution, transparency, and extension in both
the top and lower frequencies.

FEATURES and BENEFITS

- very stable imaging and sound stage with deep bass extensionTorroidal transformer
