Tandberg TR 2060 (1978–1981)
The Tandberg TR 2060 is a stereo receiver built from 1978 to 1981. Tandberg was the Norwegian maker still turning out solid, no-nonsense audio gear in those years. The TR 2060 sat in the late-1970s receiver lineup alongside the TR 2045 and TR 2030, as noted in Studio Sound (November 1978, p.50) coverage of an AES preview.
Past the core specification, the documented record is thin. The sources agree on the following. The amplifier section delivers 65W per channel with 0.05% total harmonic distortion and a signal-to-noise ratio of 90dB (IHF A). The FM tuner section offers 1.5µV sensitivity, a 1.5dB capture ratio, and 60dB selectivity. The receiver covers FM and MW (AM) bands, with AM sensitivity listed at 16µV. Dimensions are 480 × 120 × 360mm. The damping factor is given as both 40 and 50 depending on the source, so it is left out here rather than guessed.
No original price, weight, or detailed input/output configuration has turned up in the available documentation. There is not much on the circuit topology or design approach either, beyond what Tandberg's general reputation of the era suggests. The TR 2060 seems to have been a straightforward, capable mid-to-upper-tier receiver from a maker known for build quality. How it was received and how it sold are not recorded in the sources.
