Harman Kardon Speakers

Harman Kardon is a legendary name in stereo and home theater companies, with a solid reputation that has lasted several decades. Harman Kardon has produced some of the best amps, preamps, tuner and a receiver, and many are still in use today. I still have a Harman Kardon Citation 16 stereo power amplifier, which sounds good Workhorse Amp that I bought in the 1970s. And now, we are going to talk about Harman Kardon HK 3490, which also has high performance with XM Radio tuner and Dolby Virtual Speaker. HK 3490 uses an amplifier bandwidth, with a specification that extends the frequency response up to 110 kHz, and it shows in the performance component.

Features
The Harman Kardon HK 3490 has most of the features I look for in a receiver, plus a few additional features: An entry for the Harman Kardon Bridge II dock compatible Apple iPod or iPod Touch, and is ready for XM Satellite Radio when it is used with the optional XM tuner. HK 3490 has three video inputs, and Dolby Virtual Speaker to simulate surround sound and Dolby surround sound for headphones for private

Two-channel amplification perfected and simplified.

Subwoofer link the power switch to turn off the sub is not used. The beneficiary has preamp outputs and input of the amp for a main external amplifier or audio equalizer.

The HK 3490 has 120 watts x 2 with both channels driven, the important specification. Many recipients assessed with a single channel service, the task much easier amp. Power with both channels driven shows how to operate the amp in demanding conditions.

Performance of the Harman Kardon HK 3490
Overall, Harman Kardon HK 3490 offers excellent audio performance, especially in the middle and high frequencies. The sound is very detailed and open with the voice quality is excellent. The receiver broadband frequency response (110 kHz,-3dB) appears to contribute high sound quality. At that time, as if the bass was a bit heavy or powerful, but only on a few songs, otherwise, the bass sound is tight and well defined, even without a subwoofer.

The optional HK Bridge iPod dock is the easy way to add your digital music

Spending $499 for Harman Kardon HK 3490 stereo receiver that is offering excellent audio performance and many useful features is not expensive. Despite the absence of learning or universal remote, sound quality, it will be easier for me to recommend the Harman Kardon HK 3490 for the main stereo system or as a bedroom, dorm room or second Audio systems.
