Das war also die Quadro-Konkurrenz zum etwas dickeren "Stereo Directory & Buying Guide" von Stereo Review.
Es gab in USA 3 oder 4 USA-weit vertriebene Hifi-Magazine, die sich natürlich gnadenlose Konkurrenz (bei der Aquise von Anzeigen) machten. Dazu gab es auch noch regionale Hifi- Magazine und Hifi- Zeitschriften in diesem Bereich. Und die großen Verlage brachten ein oder zwei mal im Jahr ihre großen "Reviews" heraus, eigentlich eine Werbeplatform für ganzseitige Produkt-Anzeigen - genauso wie unser deutsches Hifi-Jahrbuch vonKarl Breh, das auch alle anderen dan nachgeäfft hatten. Diese Reviews waren also von Anzeigen finanzierte Produkt-Kataloge. Deshalb wurden auch nur die oft vagen Angaben der Hersteller abgedruckt. Kommentare oder gar Tests waren unerwünscht. Hier ein Review von "HIGH FIDELITY".
Obwohl es in USA auch keine Preisbindung mehr gab, werden in den meisten dieser Kataloge die von den Herstellern "empfohlenen" Laden-Verkaufspreise genannt. In dem in Deutschland erschienenen amerikanischen OFF-DUTY Magazin für die Militär-Angehörigen hingegen waren die völlig irren military Preise abgedruckt. Die Differenz war eklatant.
Das hier ist der "Four-Channel Sound Consumer Guide" 1974
..... von "HIGH FIDELITY". Wer immer den Begriff "Quadr'i'phonics" (also nicht Quadr"o"phonics) erfunden hatte, es war einfach anders und verwirrte noch mehr als die sowieso schon 3 unterschiedlichen Quadro Systeme für Langspielplatten. Auf ca. 100 oder mehr Seiten werden die im amerikanischen "Homeland" Anfang 1974 angebotenen Quadro-Erzeugnisse aufgelistet. Wie bereits gesagt, das waren zu kaufende Einträge. Nichts war da gratis. Die Anzeigen-Seiten haben wir von unserem Spender nicht mitgekommen, weil es nur schwarz weiß Fotokopien waren. Doch die gleichen Anzeigen haben wir aus der OFF-DUTY gescannt.

- Anmerkung : Also das war mitnichten eine komplette Marktübersicht, die hätte ja neutral und unabhängig von zu kaufenden Einträgen sein müssen. Eigentlich war es eine Aufzählung von bezahlten Anzeigen

The information that follows is intended to acquaint the prospective buyer with the functions and important features of specific models, based on data supplied by their manufacturers.
.
No attempt has been made to evaluate specifications or to judge the equipment. (Also jeder Anzeigenkunde konnte schreiben, was er wollte.)
All models are listed alphabetically by brand name within product groups. Prices shown are manufacturers' or importers' "suggested" retail figures and may be subject to regional variation or discount from store to store.

Receivers
.
The term "receiver" in hi-fi language denotes a tuner combined with an amplifier. A stereo tuner plus a stereo amplifier becomes, of course, a stereo receiver.
Things are not yet that definite in four-channel parlance; but as of now it looks as if a "four-channel receiver" is a stereo tuner plus a four-channel amplifier, and most often the latter section includes some form of matrix decoding and/or simulating function in addition to its four channels of amplification.
Quadriphonic broadcasts of matrixed four-channel material can be received in any normal stereo tuner or receiver; to recover the four channels, the tuner output may be fed to a suitable matrix decoder and the four channels of amplification.
Most "four-channel receivers" do include these features and options already built in. In addition, some receivers make provision for connecting the tuner output to an external adapter for discrete four-channel broadcasts, for which the FCC has yet to establish standards.
Note that in some receivers provision is made for combining the four amplifier sections to operate as a higher-powered stereo (two-channel) amplifier. Another option often found is that of using the four channels as two separate stereo amplifiers. These features are indicated where applicable.
Power output is given as continuous average sine-wave (so-called RMS) power into an 8-ohm load, unless otherwise stated. Power bandwith is stated for one channel at rated distortion into an 8-ohm load. Harmonic and IM distortion figures are for rated power output into an 8-ohm load.
.
- Anmerkung : Das bedeutet sogar, diese Zusammenstellung wurde zum Ende 1973 vor der verbindlichen Entscheidung der FTC ("Federal Trade Commission" - die US-Wettbewerbs- behörde - im Herbst 1974) erstellt. Die FTC hatte quasi per Gesetz angeordnet, von jetzt an ausnahmslos sämtliche irgendwo in USA angebotenen Verstärker aller Art absolut mit den echten RMS Werten zu spezifizieren, immer und ohne Ausnahme.
.
In general, when shopping for a four-channel receiver (or a four-channel separate amplifier) determine whether the power output stated is the sum of all four channels or the power per channel. The latter figure is the key to how much driving power actually will be delivered to each loudspeaker.

- Anmerkung 1 : Der Text ist sehr "komisch eng" gedruckt und das OCR Programm hat es genauso "komisch" erkannt und umgewandelt. Eine Korrektur bei so vielen Fehlern lohnt nicht. Dafür ist es zuviel Text.
.
- Anmerkung 2 : Diese Aufstellung ist die US amerikanische Festland- Ausgabe und die enthält "fast" alle in USA abgebotenen Geräte und die US-Laden-Preise. In OFF-DUTY dagegen sind überwiegend die in den europäischen military Shops angebotenen Geräte aufgeführt, also (auch nur) eine (andere) Teilmenge dieser Fülle, dafür aber mit den völlig irren low-cost miltary Preisen.

Amplifiers
.
Amplification to handle four channels can be set up, of course, by using two similar stereo amplifiers: However, having all four channels in one unit is an obvious convenience, not to mention the new-fangled controls for the rear channel that are found on four-channel models. Most include too a decoder for matrixed program material and I or a simulator for recovering "hidden" ambient information from any existing stereo recordings.
Notes on power and distortion for the amplifier sections of receivers apply to separate amplifiers.

Separate Decoders and Demodulators (Start auf Seite 78)
.
The term "decoder" describes a circuit or a device that accepts an encoded (matrixed) four-channel quadriphonic signal and separates it into four original channels. Of the forms of matrixing proposed, and in varying degrees tried, the CBS-SQ predominates among equipment manufacturers and record companies, but it has been challenged by the Sansui-QS system (also known as RM in Japan).
In addition, a few records have been made that conform to an earlier matrix offered by Electro-Voice (Stereo-4). The Dynaquad technique (introduced by Dynaco) does not decode matrixed material, but rather sense phase relationships in two-channel material and makes available a simulated signal for rear-channel presentation. Many decoders offer one of these options; a few models, known as universal decoders, offer all options.
The term "demodulator" describes the circuit or device specifically designed to recover the four channels of a multiplexed quadriphonic disc (also known as the discrete disc, the CD-4 disc, or the RCA Quadradisc). Demodulators are available as separate units or are incorporated in systems designed for this type of disc.
