MODEL #000 STEREO PREAMPLIFIER
The Phase Linear 4000 was desrgned to perform all the lunctions at an ordinary
state-ol-the-art stereo preamplilier but with the added advantage at eliminating noise
and restoring dynamic range. The Autocorrelator Noise Reduction System and the
Dynamic Range Recovery System must be heard to be appreciated. The revolutionary
leatures will make your music sound more Iilelike and remove that horrible background
horse which has plagued audiophile: lor years.

MODEL 5000 FM TUNER
The Phase Linear Model 5000 FM Tuner lully compliments our line of separate
components both in appearance and philosophy.
Until now. separate component manulacturers have put,most ol their design
emphasis into reaching the theoretical limits at FM receiving. Few consumers, however.
can actually benelit lrorri these technical achievements simply because the broadcast
itsell is too mediocre. A cure tor that problem is what we have added to our tuner.
The Phase Linear 5000 combines excellent receiving capabilities along with a
unique linear expansion circuit which compensates tor the problems associated with
FM broadcast, Consequently the 5000 FM tuner delivers dynamic range and some
quality audibly beyond that which has been available.
FEATURES: Large slide rule dial: variable muting 2uV to 100W: lixed and variable
outputs; 25uSec. and 75uSec, deemphasis; 75 ohm cable connector; expander with
selection lor 4dB and 9dB. tailored to decompress" typical FM compression
techniques; LED. multipath indicator which shows instantaneous multipath distortion;
center tune and signal strength meters with back panel calibration adjustments: panel
light dimmer switch.
All models have aluminum lront panels with brushed light gold finish, baked enamel
and black anodize. Optional walnut cabinets are available for all models.

MODEL 200 STEREO AMPLIFIER
The} Phase 200 is the best amplifier you can purchase tor medium power handling
applications. At 105 watts per channel. the 200 complements all high quality hooksheil
speakers In the atticient to medium atticiency range, The 200 has enough power to
BIIniinllQ clipping with most elticient speaker systems as well as many inefficient
sys ems.
The Phase 200 has 3 Velocity Feedback switch which allows tor a Reduction in
current leedoack. This results in a lowering ot the damping ratio and this has been a
recommendation made by various speaker manutacturers. in numerous speaker
systems this reduction in leedback will provide a warmer. more mellow sound.
MODEL 1000 AUTOCORRELATOR NOISE REDUCTION AND
DYNAMIC RANGE RECOVERY SYSTEM
The Model 1000 is an outboard signal processor which eliminates noise end
expands dynamic range. No other product on the market. except our Model 4000,
incorporates the two systems available in the 1000. One system. the Autocorrelator.
removes noise irom records. tapas and FM broadcast merely by playing the signal
through the 1000 on playback. You do not need to have s pre-processed signal as is the
case with most noise reduction systems The other system incorporated in the 1000 is
the Dynamic Range Recovery System which compensates tor the various techniques
used by recording studios such as gain riding and compression. These techniques limit
the dynamic range you can achieve and the Dynamic Range Recovery System can
recover much at what is lost.
The Autocorrelalor IS rust plarn amazmg in what it can do tor srgnar-tomorse ratio with any
recorded medium horse becomes virtually inaudible '

MODEL 2000 STEREO PREAMPLIFIER
The Model 2000 otters excellent specifications, outstanding sonic performance and
a unique "Ambiance Circuit" designed to retrieve out-ot-phase signals while using the
2000 in a stereo mode. Prior to this time one had to add anot er amplifier and an
additional set of speakers to utilize such a system. but this is not true oi the ambience
system in the 2000. When listening to a record played through the 2000 with the
ambiance circutt one you will hear instruments that would not be audible on our
preemps. The music is on the record out oi phase and the 2000 corrects that problem.
ln measurements made at CBS. the Model 2000 proved itselt a slrong pertormer, ln neither
channel did output clipping occur at less than 12 2 volts, whether driven srnyly or logelher. At
an output level at 2 volts (more than enough for lull output trom most power amps). harmonic
UISIUIIlOn was less than 0 02% in all cases-well below Phase Linear's 0 1% spec And it we
ignore as inaudible all harmonics above ZOkHz, harmonic distortion is no more than 0 0066%. "
"The Model 2000 IS as super in the listening as it IS smooth in the handling Once one has
become used to the controls. they are convenient to operate and salrslying to touch The extra
tlexiorl-ty in the tone controls {the separate knobs tor each channel, as well as the variable
turnover pornts) delivers worthwhile options."
