Philips RH832
Philips Radiola RA832
1974
1976
The Philips RH832 (or Radiola RA832) may look like a gimmicky compact but isn't. At all. Not in the least.
Under the bubbly plastic hood is a 4-channel preamp, a tuner and a Philips turntable. But there are no amplifiers : the 832 is made to feed a pair (or two) of RH532 MFB loudspeakers !
The three roundy windows hide three dual-VU meters indicating rear power (top), front power (center) and tuning scale + signal level (bottom). Balance can be set between left/right and front/rear.
The long front control pad selects sources (MIC, phono 2/4 matrix, tape 2 stereo, tape 1 4-channel discriminator) as well as stereo modes : mono, stereo, D. stereo, 4-channel) and sound "contour" (on/of, I/II).
The tuner has six manual preset dials hidden under a cache (under the FM bubble window) and six soft-touch buttons backlit in green to instantly recall said presets ; manual & non-memorizd tuning is done with the big right-hand dial and large front scale.
The built-in turntable is a GA212 electronic able to play SQ and CD4 records with a frequency response shooting as high as 45Khz, thanks to its GP422 cartridge.
The price for all this however was very steep : 9240FF in march 1975, of which two RH532 counted for a mere 1816FF.
By comparison, a big RH521 cost 1880FF and the bigger RH720 receiver only 3421FF.
Maybe why the RH832 is so difficult to find nowadays...
