Brand: Pioneer
The Pioneer SX-319V (VK) is an audio receiver that was introduced in 1974 as part of Pioneer's V-Series lineup. It features a power output of 55 watts per channel (RMS) into 8 ohms, and can drive 4 ohm speakers with 100 watts per channel (RMS). The unit comes with a built-in FM tuner, a phono input for turntables, and two tape decks (a built-in tape recorder and a rear-panel line input for an external tape deck). It also includes the distinctive VK (Variable key) equalization system, which allowed users to fine-tune the receiver's sound using a seven-pedal switch. Over time, VK becomes a trademark of Pioneer for their V-Series receivers. The SX-319V was known for its clear, powerful sound, and solid construction, earning it a reputation as a favorite among audiophiles and music lovers during its time.
