Microsystem Aiwa XR-MN5

Speakers in EAF-housing dome tweeter head... When designing a system Aiwa XR-MN5 of paramount importance, apparently, Hi-Fi- criteria - but not at the expense of design and equipment. Reflex port and decorated in keeping with the boot trim slot for CD-changer for five discs. Original design, ennobling the front panel, unfortunately, is not designed for reading 8 - cm discs. Fluorescent display shows not only the time elapsed since the beginning of the song, but her room and - when playing MP3 recordings - the album number, as well as the name, but only in the first (obsolete ) version ID3TAG. Here indicate a position controller LF/HF - Voices (five stages of amplification/attenuation). For bass has an additional three-stage adjustment. Moreover, open up to a powered subwoofer. Remote control as if misses the style: modest plastic box with lots of buttons. However, after a brief "zeroing" was that the remote control is quite ergonomic - allows you to quickly select and album and track, manage complex functions such as Synchro Start and CD-Edit. As a result, we have Aiwa XR-MN5 - versatile machine capable of adequately reproduce the music of almost any style, record it on a tape or on a digital bus transfer to the MD- or CD recorder. And you can - and the computer.

Technical comment

Linear portion of the frequency response of speakers is relatively wide (70-2000 Hz with a spread of 5 dB), so the vocals are not reproducible loses in naturalness that for this class of vehicles - a rare dignity. After 2000 Hz a slight rise in the AFC, in connection with which the column should not be sent to the listener, and run parallel to each other (uneven performance in this listening almost does not increase). AFC cassette smoothly rises with increasing frequency, so the "extras" on the recordings sound a little louder original. But the lack of it?
