Sherwood S-2300
Little is documented about the Sherwood S-2300. What survives is a thin pile of period fragments. No manual, no complete spec sheet, and no firm introduction date has turned up.
The most concrete fragment is a tuner listing in a 1971 buyers-guide roundup. It gives a capture ratio of 1.5 dB (IHF), frequency response of 20-15,000 Hz ±0.5 dB, and harmonic distortion of 0.2% at 400 Hz and 100% modulation. It also lists a signal-strength meter, a zero-center tuning meter, and an automatic stereo indicator. HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (1971, p.70) carried those figures.
Earlier, High Fidelity (Feb 1967, p.44) ran an equipment-news item on a new amp-speaker setup at $119. It was said to work with tape decks of any brand and with the preamplified output of a tuner or phonograph, and it was suggested for use as a remote stereo speaker system. Whether that product is the S-2300 or a different model entirely can't be confirmed from the fragment.
Known specs from the period fragment:
- Capture ratio (IHF): 1.5 dB
- Frequency response: 20–15,000 Hz ±0.5 dB
- Harmonic distortion: 0.2% at 400 Hz, 100% modulation
- Signal-strength meter, zero-center tuning meter, automatic stereo indicator
That is about all the record shows. If you have a surviving S-2300 or its manual, the archive would like to know.
