About the 3001A
The Tandberg 3001A is an analog FM stereo tuner produced in the 1980s, featuring an all-analog audio circuit design with a touch of digital technology for managing presets. It uses eight ganged tuned circuits with voltage-controlled capacitance diodes and dual-gate MOS-FETs in the RF and mixer stages to achieve very high selectivity and low distortion. The tuner offers three selectable IF bandwidths (wide, normal, narrow) with phase-linear block and LC filters for excellent selectivity and low distortion. It has a sensitivity of 5.0 µV, a signal-to-noise ratio of 92 dB in FM, distortion of 0.1%, and a frequency response from 30 Hz to 15 kHz. The unit includes a continuously variable muting control, a three-position de-emphasis selector (25, 50, or 75 µS), and outputs for audio and oscilloscope monitoring of multipath effects. The tuner covers the FM band from 87.5 to 108 MHz with an analog tuning scale and supports eight programmable FM presets. It measures 435 x 350 x 83 mm, weighs 7 kg, and originally It is praised for its musical sound quality and robust build, with features such as a 75-ohm coaxial antenna input and a 75/300-ohm matching transformer included. The 3001A remains a highly respected classic tuner among audiophiles.
