The Kristall-101 ​​combined installation in the amount of 84 copies was manufactured at the Moscow Television Plant from March to August 1958. The author of the development is YM Romadin. The console installation `` Crystal-101 ​​&#39;&#39; combined in a common case a TV of the 2nd class `` Rubin-102 &#39;&#39;, with an image size of 340x450 mm, an all-wave radio receiver of the 1st class `` Lux &#39;&#39;, a two-track reversible tape recorder of the 1st class `` Melody MG- 56 &#39;&#39; and an automatic universal player designed for listening to 10 records, with automatic change. There was also a simple installation option, where a universal EPU and a MAG-59 tape recorder were used. The installation uses 9 loudspeakers. The nominal power of the amplifier is 8 W. The frequency range of reproduced speakers is 50 ... 14000 Hz. Unit dimensions 1450x990x620 mm, weight 67 kg.

Another description. Installation &quot;Kristall-101&quot; is made in furniture design. In the center there is a high-quality TV set &quot;Almaz-102&quot;. In the left compartment of the case there is a high-class tape recorder &quot;Melody&quot;. The right compartment is divided into 2 parts: in its upper part there is a high-class all-wave radio receiver &quot;Lux&quot;, and in the lower part there is a universal electric player with an automatic machine for changing 10 gramophone records. The entire bottom of the case is occupied by a speaker system consisting of nine different loudspeakers providing high quality sound reproduction. There are 2 more outboard tweeters to create a surround sound effect. The Kristall-101 ​​combined installation is mainly intended for hotels, holiday homes, concert halls, etc. It makes it possible to receive broadcasts of black and white television broadcasting, radio broadcasting stations in the ranges of long, medium, short, as well as ultrashort waves from FM. Using the installation, you can listen to regular and long-playing records and play back tape recordings at a speed of 19.0 and 9.5 cm / sec, as well as record sound accompaniment of television broadcasts, radio broadcasts on magnetic tape, make records from gramophone records and record music and speech from microphone. The TV, radio, turntable and tape recorder of the installation work through a common powerful low frequency amplifier with an acoustic broadband loudspeaker system. The main control knobs of all devices are located on the front side of the case. The TV set &quot;Almaz-102&quot; has high technical and operational qualities. Used in it kinescope type 53LK2B with a rectangular screen provides high brightness and contrast of the image. The TV is equipped with an external remote control, with which it is possible to adjust the brightness of the image and the sound volume at a distance of up to 5 m. The TV uses a five-button switch, which is used to turn the TV on and off and to switch the sound timbre (&quot;speech&quot;, &quot;concert&quot; , &quot;Softened sound&quot;). For stable operation of the TV, especially when exposed to interference or when the useful signal changes abruptly, automatic adjustments are provided, for example, high-speed automatic gain control, automatic brightness control, etc. Using a special knob, you can adjust the clarity of the image, and in some cases get rid of distortions that can depend on local conditions. Structurally, the TV consists of 2 horizontal chassis located one above the other. A radio receiving part with a power rectifier and control knobs is mounted on the lower chassis. On the upper chassis there is a deployment device and a synchronization channel. The whole structure is a rigidly connected block on which the TV channel switch (PTK) is also fixed. The upper chassis can be rotated and locked in a position convenient for repairs. A picture tube with a mask and a deflecting system is attached separately from the chassis unit and connected to the general circuit with special connectors. The TV is made on 19 lamps according to the superheterodyne scheme and has a high sensitivity. The circuit includes: an RF amplifier, a converter, a four-stage IF amplifier with automatic gain control according to a key circuit, a video detector, a single-stage video amplifier, a two-stage differential frequency amplifier used as an intermediate frequency of the audio accompaniment, a frequency detector, and a two-stage audio frequency amplifier. The synchronization channel consists of a sync pulse separator, a sync mixture amplifier and a phase discriminator with an inertial circuit for automatic frequency control of the horizontal oscillator. The horizontal scan uses a multivibrator controlled by a DC voltage from a phase discriminator and an output stage with an autotransformer output. The frame scan consists of a blocking generator and an output frame frequency amplifier with a transformer output. The main technical data of the TV: Sensitivity on all channels 100 µV. The horizontal clarity in the center of the screen is 500 lines, 550 lines along the vertical. Geometric distortion of the raster does not exceed 2.5%. Automatic adjustment 1.8 times (when the signal increases 500 times, the output voltage changes no more than 1.8 times). The radio receiver &quot;Lux&quot; is an 11-tube superheterodyne, all-wave combined AM-FM radio receiver, designed for six bands. The Melodiya tape recorder is a first-class device designed for two-sided recording and playback at a tape speed of 19 or 9.5 cm / sec and is designed to work with cassettes with a capacity of 360 meters of magnetic tape. The tape recorder makes it possible to record the soundtrack of a television broadcast, programs from the air through the receiver, from gramophone records, from the broadcasting network or from the microphone that is included in the tape recorder. The duration of the tape recorder operation at a tape speed of 19 cm / s corresponds to 60 minutes, at a speed of 9.5 cm / s. accordingly increases by 2 times, i.e. 120 minutes The transition from one track to another is carried out by pressing the corresponding key of track 1 or track 2. There is an electronic indicator to control the level of the recorded signal. The tape recorder has an original indicator of the place of recording in the form of an hour dial with two hands, which makes it possible to determine the beginning of the recording content of individual works on a certain section of the tape. To prevent erroneous erasure of the record, there is a special safety button, only when pressed, you can turn on the record keys. The main technical data of the tape recorder: The sensitivity of the recording - playback channel: from a TV set, a receiver and a pickup not worse than 200 mV; from the broadcasting network not worse than 10 V; from a microphone no worse than 3 mV. Bands of recorded and reproduced frequencies 60 ... 10000 Hz at a tape speed of 19 cm / s and 80 ... 6000 Hz at a tape speed of 9.5 cm / s. The total deviation of the average speed from 19 and 9.5 cm / s (when the mains voltage changes, from the beginning to the end of the cassette, when moving from one track to another) is not more than ± 3%. The frequency of the erasing and magnetizing generator, 50 kHz. Nonlinear distortion factor 2.8%. The player panel with an automatic machine included in the kit is designed for playing regular and long-playing gramophone records with their automatic change. The player is designed for 10 records, and after playing the last record, the mechanism is automatically turned off. The turntable has a universal piezoceramic pickup with a corundum needle. The reproducible frequency band is 60 ... 10000 Hz. The output amplifier is designed to amplify the power of audio frequencies received from the outputs of a TV, receiver, turntable or tape recorder. The amplifier uses a two-channel circuit with minimal frequency and nonlinear distortions. The LF channel of the amplifier has an output power of 10 W; its output is loaded on 3 low-frequency five-watt loudspeakers. The RF channel of the amplifier with an output power of 5 W drives a group of mid-range and high-frequency loudspeakers. A separate rectifier is installed to power the amplifier. The amplifier provides controls for overall gain and tone for LF and HF frequencies, which make it possible to make appropriate adjustments to the owner&#39;s taste, depending on the size and acoustic properties of the room. The sound pressure developed by the acoustic unit is 25 bar. The frequency range is 60 ... 12000 Hz. SOI at mid frequencies 7%, at high 6%. The TV-radio is powered from an alternating current network with a voltage of 127 or 220 V. Power consumption from the network: when the TV is running 250 W; TV and tape recorder 300 W; when the receiver and tape recorder are working, 220 W; operation of the receiver or player 180 W; operation of the tape recorder 160 watts.
