The inventive minds of Nakamichi have combined their legendary abilities in
stereophonic reproduction with sensitivity to your need for "getaway"
personal space. The result is SoundSpace 5, a stereo music system designed
for personal stereo satisfaction in places where full-sized audio components
are not appropriate.
SoundSpace 5 is ideal for the library, office, kitchen or bedroom - anyplace
you want to be alone with your music.
Impressive Sound Quality, Stunning Design
The remarkable SoundSpace 5 system delivers stereo reproduction that rivals
the concert-hall quality of full-sized Nakamichi components. Its three units,
styled in contemporary brushed metal and acrylic, are designed to be
arranged in a variety of ways - standing, tilted like easel frames, or even
hung on the wall. Charcoal, blue or green speaker grilles are
included for coordination with any room decor.
Analog inputs and outputs plus
an optical digital output provide
interface options.
75 and 300 ohm antenna
connections
All control functions and disc loading slot are
located on top of the main unit.
Full-function and simple
remote control supplied
The main unit houses a MusicBank3-disc CD changer, FM/AM tuner and preamplifier.
Function control buttons are arranged conveniently on the top panel. A front window allows
you to see the operation of the changer, which can be illuminated subtly in blue or amber
(user selectable).
The MusicBank changer needs no magazine, and is as easy to load as a single-disc CD player.
It permits fast, safe disc handling and never touches the disc’s playing surface. This changer
allows full control over playback functions, including all-disc memory play, random play, all
repeat and memory repeat play.
Nakamichi’s FM/AM tuner provides for presetting of 20 FM and 10 AM stations as well as
convenient preset scan or seek tuning. A high-performance quartz synthesis tuning system
provides stable, high-quality reception.
Left and right speakers have been developed especially for this system, using Nakamichi’s
extensive expertise in high-end audio systems. The speakers incorporate their own power
amplifiers, and each has a 2.5cm semi-dome type tweeter and a 10 cm cone-type
midrange/bass unit. The power amplifiers are individually optimized for the speakers they
must drive, permitting superb reproduction of stereo images and wide dynamic range. Time
delay has been eliminated throughout the frequency range to realize clean, powerful sound
previously unimaginable in a compact system.
