Grundig was the largest and one of the most respected audio electronics company from Germany. Their products were kept in high regard throughout Europe but not only. This means that in 1980 they were still able to release a competitive product such as the Grundig mini 100 HiFi on a market segment dominated by japanese audio products. It was proudly advertised as Designed and Built in Germany. In this Grundig mini-series we will find receivers, tuner, amplifier and various cassette decks. In this article we focus on the top of the line components of this series. These are:
GRUNDIG MT 100 - analog FM Stereo tuner with 7 presets
GRUNDIG MXV 100 - stereo pre-amplifier that can be used either with the MA 100 power amplifier or directly with one of the XM series active loudspeakers.
GRUNDIG MA 100 - 50 W/ch stereo power amplifier with auto power on-off when used in combination with the MXV 100 pre-amplifier. To counter balance the aesthetic appereance of this slightly larger box a funny / funky little LED power meter was installed.
GRUNDIG MCF 600 - stereo cassette deck featuring a two motor Quartz locked and logic controlled mechanism. The deck can be used with Normal, Fe-Cr, Chrome and Metal tapes as well with optimal results with the help of to the front panel BIAS control. The deck features High Com noise reduction circuit that is said to be 13-times more efficient then Dolby but there was also a Dolby playback-only compatible circuit installed as well.
GRUNDIG XM series - HiFi Active loudspeaker range to be used directly with the pre-amplifier for a more compact system
All components were available with silver or metallic-brown finish.
