Process:
All parts are built with combined 3d tools like Bryce, Vue and Daz Studio. Then I transferred all parts in OBJ and put the model together in Daz Studio. The textures are made in Photoshop and then transferred to all parts in Daz Studio.
About:
Introduced in 1974 the Yamaha CR-1000 was a high end receiver that was offered in both the U.S. and Japan markets. It was part of Yamaha’s lineup that included the CR-400, CR-600 and CR-800. Pricing in the U.S. was:
CR-400 – $330
CR-600 – $460
CR-800 – $580
CR-1000 – $850
An audio magazine of the time said:
One significant aspect of the CR-1000 is its surprisingly affordable price, considering all the excellent features it offers. This makes the CR-1000 a truly unique proposition in the world of stereo equipment.
The CR-1000 is rated at 70 watts per channel. While this is somewhat low for a top end receiver of the time, Yamaha chose to focus less on power output and more on reducing distortion. This concept was incorporated in their tagline “Natural Sound Their marketing quote was:
By virtually eliminating IM’s (intermodulation distortion) brittle dissonance, we’ve given back to music what it’s been missing. A clear natural richness and brilliant tonality that numbers alone cannot describe. A new purity in sound reproduction.
Yamaha claimed that their heritage of producing fine musical instruments such as pianos, organs, guitars, woodwinds, and brass is what drove them to reducing distortion in their audio equipment. The minimalist but handsome wood cabinet was included in the base price of the CR-1000.
The CR-1000 controls include a rumble filter with a steep roll-off, switchable treble filter options, a rotary volume control, and a slider for microphone gain control.
