JVC 5550-AM
The JVC 5550-AM is a barely documented model. The record holds a short spec listing and not much else. No full review, brochure, or service manual has surfaced in the archive. It appears to have been a conventional stereo receiver of the early 1970s. The surviving listing is thin on narrative and heavy on electrical specs.
What the listing shows:
- Output: 17 W/channel into 16 ohms (the 4-ohm figure is truncated in the surviving OCR)
- Power bandwidth: 5–30,000 Hz
- Frequency response: 6–35,000 Hz ±1 dB
- Input sensitivity: 2.4 mV (mag phono); 180 mV (aux)
- FM sensitivity: 1.6 µV for 30 dB quieting; capture ratio 2.5 dB (IHF)
- Signal-strength and center-of-channel meters
- Main/remote speaker switching
- 117/240 V, 50–60 Hz operation
That is nearly everything on record. No price, production years, or lineup placement have been found.
