So that the Stromberg-Carlson 880 stereo pre-
amp/power amplifier may be the answer to
nearly all installation problems. it is available
as the ASK-880 as a combined preamp/power
amplifier, and as the ASEB + ASP~80 as sep-
arate preamp and power amplifier. Connect
the ASE-8 and the ASP) as indicated in the
diagram. When this has been done, the two
units will be very similar to the onechassis
version, and all information applicable to the
ASR~H80 is equally applicable to the ASE-8 +
ASP-w. It is important to remember that the
880 is not designed for separation wider than
IS" between preamp and power amplifier. The
length of connecting cables provided with the
A538 + ASP~80 will give optimum results.
14mg extensions may deteriorate high tre-
quency response.

number of possible components you may wish
to connect to your ASE-88), either initially or
step by step. Connections are easy to make,
