Pioneer Says

High-grade AM/FM stereo tuner for clear reception-high sensitivity front end, wide-band linear detector and built-in recording level check signal.
Inside it's one of the most circuit-packed AM/FM tuners we've ever built. And outside It's one of the cleanest and most simple to use. The new Pioneer TX-9500 has our new streamlined looks, logically-arranged switches and controls, and a scientifically designed tuning system that makes it all look so easy.
But It's what's Inside that counts: dual-gate MOSFETs and a 5-gang variable capacitor boost FM front end sensitivity to a superb 1.5V (IHF).The FM IF has 7 ICs with differential amps, 4 ceramic filters (with 2 elements each) and a wide-band linear detector to pinpoint selectivity at 85 dB or better and beef up the capture ratio to 1.0 dB (IHF). Even In stereo the S/N Is a superhigh 75 dB, with Total Harmonic Distortion of 0.2% at 1 kHz. Thanks to the PLL MPX (Phase-Lock-Loop Multiplex) demodulator, stereo separation stretches to a wide 35 dB over the 50 to 10,000 Hz range. Stability? Even In signal-weak or signal-strong areas your station comes In clean and fresh. Planning to record off the air? Hit the switch for the built-in 440 Hz test signal generator and check the output level against your deck's VUs for optimum adjustment before the music begins.
