[A unit] capable of a high degree of realism in the electronic reproduction of sound. 1, record 1, English, - high%2Dfidelity%20sound%20system
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Chaîne de reproduction sonore dont les éléments (table de lecture, magnétophone, préampli, ampli et enceintes acoustiques) permettent la restitution d'un signal plus ou moins identique au signal d'entrée. 3, record 1, French, - cha%C3%AEne%20haute%20fid%C3%A9lit%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La notion de haute-fidélité repose sur un compromis, compte tenu du fait que le signal recueilli à la sortie n'est jamais absolument identique au signal d'entrée. Pour qu'elle soit dite de haute(-)fidélité, une chaîne (et même chacun de ses maillons) doit présenter certaines caractéristiques techniques. Pour ce qui est du taux de distorsion, par exemple, la norme DIN 45500 en fixe le maximum à 0,5 %. 3, record 1, French, - cha%C3%AEne%20haute%20fid%C3%A9lit%C3%A9
