Fisher had the best display with
all of its products displayed and the
new 4 channel receiver (tuner and
amp.) which was picking up
especially prepared 4 channel tapes
run off by radio station W.A.S.H.
Four channel sound or
"total surround sound" was the
newest addition to the Hi Fi Show.
It is simply stereo times two with 4
speakers, four channels and two
amps. Four channel sound is not
being broadcasted on the air yet, it
still has to receive an F.C.C. licence.
But Fisher is confident that 4
channel broadcasting will begin by
November, when they will mass
market cheaper models of their
receiver (the current model costs
$700).
