Victor Series-1000 (1975) - The Laboratory Standard

power amplifier

The Laboratory 1000 Series was introduced by Victor (JVC Japan) in 1975. This series was specifically developed by Victor Lab Center for commercial use such as studios. Each component was carefully selected, only high reliability parts were used. The heart of the Laboratory 1000 System is the JM-S1000 stereo power amplifier featuring a large toroidal transformer, large 47,000 μF x 2 capacitors and 6 transistors per channel are used in a push-pull circuit. Large PEAK-VU meters dominate the front panel with separate left-right level adjustment while secondary functions are located behind a flip-down panel. In September 1970, JVC successfully developed the CD-4 Discrete 4-Channel Record for the first time in the world. Ever since that time JVC has been devoting itself to improvement of the system and as a consequence the partnering pre-amplifier of the Laboratory 1000 series is a 4-channel pre-amplifier, the JP-V1000. In order to fully benefit form a CD-4 Discrete 4-Channel source the Laboratory 1000 Sytem also contains the necessary CD-4 demodulator, the CD4-1000. Technical data JM-S1000: 180W/ch 8ohm 20Hz-20kHz, Bridged mono 540W 8ohm | THD 0.08% | Dimensions 478x212x488 mm | Weight: 30.5kg | Original sales price aprox. 7200 DM.
