HARMAN KARDON Citation 1

The Citation 1 is designed to deliver exceptional sound quality, and has become legendary for audiophiles and vintage audio enthusiasts.

It is part of the Citation series, an iconic range of the brand launched between 1950 and 1960, which introduced innovations in design and technology.

The Citation 1 is particularly appreciated for its clarity, its sonic warmth, and its ability to reveal subtle details, thanks to its tube circuits. The brand has used high-end components to ensure low distortion and an extended frequency response.

It includes several inputs to connect different audio devices: two phono inputs with these selectable equalization curves, which guarantee better sound fidelity and optimal sound regardless of the source; a tuner input (AM / FM), a tape input, a tape monitor input and an AUX input.
