Issue 67 Spring 1982
|
|
From 15 April 1982, Citroen will market, in France only,
a very special series of 1,500 GSAs: the GSA “Tuner”.
Intended for
Hi-Fi freaks, this car is really an auditorium on wheels.
From the outside, the GSA “Tuner” reveals nothing of its
true nature: it is a black GSA Club of the strictest sobriety, with
5-speed gearbox, tinted laminated windscreen and tinted windows, and
front seat headrests as standard fittings.
The interior is upholstered in a speckled buff velvet
fabric.
What really distinguishes it from other GSAs is its
highly sophisticated Philips hi-fi equipment:
-
a set fitted in the radio recess, with automatic
electronic tuning, built-in stereo tapedeck, right left balance, three
wavelengths (short and long waves. plus FM. Output4 ohms (2 X 6W)
-
an equalizing amplifier at the back of the console
with an effective output of 2 x 16W or of 4 x 10W with LED output level
indicator.
-
a headset with a mini-jack adaptor (frequency range
20 to 20,000 Hz, sensitivity 97 dB/mW, resistance 32 ohms).
-
loud-speaker system: at front two middle-range
tweeters on the facia
(power 10W), under the driving seat a double-coil boomer* (two
channels,
right/left - power 2 x 15 W), and at the rear two units with a nominal
power of I5 W, each comprising two speakers, tweeter and medium
frequency.
* this should be 'woofer'. The entire text from le
Double Chevron 67 is clearly written by someone with little or no
knowledge of audio specifications
