AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Are you a vintage audio enthusiast or a collector looking for a historic piece?
The Pioneer SA-8500 is an integrated amplifier that should not be missing from your collection. Produced between 1975 and 1979, this technological gem represents the pinnacle of the golden age of analog audio, with a robust design and sound performance that continues to impress today.
The Pioneer SA-8500 is a 2-channel stereo integrated amplifier offering 60 watts per channel into 8Ω, with a frequency response from 7 Hz to 40 kHz. Thanks to a damping factor of 30 and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of only 0.1%, this amplifier delivers a powerful, detailed sound faithful to the original sources.
It features adjustable tone controls for bass and treble, a loudness switch, low-pass and high-pass filters, and the ability to connect two speaker systems. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 90 dB (line), 70 dB (MM) and 65 dB (microphone), every note is reproduced with clarity and precision, preserving a wide and engaging stereo image.
The design of the Pioneer SA-8500 is a perfect example of 1970s vintage aesthetics, with a satin aluminum front panel, rugged knobs, and soft lighting that adds a retro-elegant touch. The dimensions of 420 mm in width, 150 mm in height and 345 mm in depth, along with a weight of 13 kg, testify to its solid construction and the use of high-quality materials.
Advanced features:
- Multiple inputs: microphone, MM (for turntables) and line.
- Outputs: pre-out, line and DIN.
- Tone controls: separate adjustments for bass and treble.
- Filters: low-pass and high-pass to optimize the sound according to your preferences.
Impeccable Conditions
This Pioneer SA-8500 unit is in showroom/new-like condition, perfectly functional and never repaired, proof of its build quality and the care with which it has been maintained over time. Despite the absence of original packaging, due to its age, the amplifier has been preserved with great care and represents a rare opportunity for vintage audio enthusiasts.
