- Synthesizer decoder function selector for:
- Concert Hall 1 and 2: stereo signals pseudo-square processed.
Surround: pseudo quadraphonic stereo signals, except that the listener is placed in the center of the musical action.
- The channels can be cyclically swapped by 90 and 180 degrees clockwise (Right Quarter Turn and Half Turn)
In the "Decoder" position, matrix-encoded records, preferably QS records, are listened to.
Remarks[edit]
The Sansui QS-500 contains two power amplifiers, a decoder for matrix-encoded records and a synthesizer for quadrophonic processing of normal stereo signals.
- If an existing stereo receiver amplifier is supplemented by the QS-500, this combination offers the same possibilities as a full-fledged quadro amplifier with regard to all types of quadrophony.
