Description and Features
Harman Kardon’s HK 3470 is the world’s first
stereo receiver to offer VMAx
® . VMAx is a propri-
etary signal-processing technique that creates
an open, spacious sound field when only two
loudspeakers are available. VMAx circuitry is able
to decode the ambience of a concert hall or the-
ater from a stereo recording.
The HK 3470 is a full-featured Stereo receiver,
with five inputs and an FM stereo/
FM/AM tuner with RDS capabilities that provide
for the utmost flexibility. A high-quality phono
input is available so that you may continue to
enjoy your existing record collection as well as
the latest CD recordings.
The HK 3470’s powerful amplifier uses
traditional Harman Kardon High-Current Design
philosophies to meet the wide dynamic range of
any program selection.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiv-
er more than forty-seven years ago. With state-
of-the-art features and time-honored circuit
designs, the HK 3470 is one of the finest
receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.
