The Magnum Dynalab MD102 Tuner

Magnum Dynalab introduces another member to its line of FM ANALOG tuners, the MD 102. Following in the footsteps of the MD 108, the MD 102 with its precision aligned R.F. section and the tolerance matching components in the audio section is able to produce realism from a live performance that even the best CD players cannot match. Many radio stations are improving their transmission equipment, thereby allowing you the customer to experience the full emotion of the music.

Because of the level of RF performance that the MD 102 provides, recording off of the radio will become a common experience: you can build a library of your favorite music.

A great FM tuner like the MD 102 allows you to evaluate a recording artist and hear the performance with all the transparency, imaging, and sound staging of the original recording without purchasing any software.

Why Analog?

Magnum Dynalab specializes in the research and development of ANALOG FM tuners as well as antennas. Many people question why we are one of the only companies that builds a truly ANALOG FM tuner and ANALOG remote control. The answer is very simple. The best SOUND can only be produced when the signal received by the tuner is tuned and maintained in the ANALOG domain. By maintaining the signal in the ANALOG domain the customer has infinite tuning across the FM band; this is achieved by the use of a knob instead of the pushbutton step function tuning offered by a digital tuner. Because of our design in the manufacturing cycle, the front end and the IF (intermediate frequency) amplifiers are precision aligned, which guarantees that all specifications are met all the time; this is not possible in a digitally tuned tuner, as they are dependent on the tolerances of the components.

By calibrating and aligning the IF (intermediate frequency) amplifiers we are optimizing SOUND, SENSITIVITY and SELECTIVITY.

We ask that you listen and compare any of our tuners against the competitors' similarly priced units and decide.

Features & Benefits

• Tunable five stage ANALOG front end (the more stages, the better); provides station separation without affecting stereo separation; Magnum Dynalab's in-house design

• Balanced output -- precision matched amplifiers produce a perfectly Balanced signal

• BW 1 - Ultra wide IF Band Width setting; this setting produces the best SOUND where adjacent channel interference is not a factor

• BW 2 - Narrow IF Band Width setting; this setting produces the best sound where adjacent channel interference is a factor

• Dual AGC (automatic gain control) stage -- eliminates the need for a local and distant switch

• Auto Blend RF Circuit -- Automatically monitors and adjusts stereo separation to maximize "stereo quieting", insuring the quietest stereo signal as possible. Greatly improving your listening quality.

• Shielded toroidal transformer -- reduces the noise floor of the tuner

• Ultra linear capacitors in the power supply circuit -- improve the frequency response

• Precision voltage stabilizers in the power supply circuit -- ensure precise tuning

• Oxygen free wiring in the audio path -- provides a clean, uncolored path for the signal

• Precision tunable matched IF (intermediate frequency) amplifiers -- ensures consistent specifications for adjacent channel separation, alternate channel separation and low distortion

• Dual antenna inputs -- flexibility in choosing antennas

• Defeatable mute -- eliminates any interstation noise while tuning

• Aluminum chassis -- provides total shielding

• Analog meters -- easy to read center tune, multipath and signal strength measurements

• WBT unbalanced (RCA) output connectors -- low tolerance connector made of highly ductile "OFC" copper, 24 carat gold plated ensures a solid contact for interconnects

• Gold plated Neutric Balanced connectors -- exact dimensions to ensure maximum conductivity

• Fully shielded RF section-eliminates any interference from stray signals

Remote Control Upgrade

The Precision Analog Remote System is now available as an option on all production Magnum Dynalab tuners, receivers and as an update to all previous Magnum Dynalab tuners and receivers.
