Vintage Omnisonix 801 Honeybox Omnisonic Imager Hifi Stereo Processor
Original text from an Omnisonix Honeybox advertisement, Popular Electronics, 1980:
HEAR WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING!
Listen with a Honeybox omnisonic imager - a quantum leap forward in stereo reproduction!
OMNISONIC IMAGERY IS HERE!
Our innovative state -of -the -art electronics create a totally unique sound environment never before possible. With Honeybox, you can now experience the physiological sensation of what amounts to three-dimensional sound reproduction — what we call omnisonic imagery" — from just two speakers. Sound appears to come from many sources in the listening area, depending on the quality of the signal source. A common reaction is to look about for other speakers. And you don't have to sit rigidly fixed at a focal point between the speakers to enjoy Honeybox!
RETROFITS TO MOST STEREO SYSTEMS
Any unit with a tape monitor facility (internal tape loop) can mate with Honeybox. It also has a built-in tape monitor button so you don't lose your existing tape monitor facility. Honeybox works on any binaural source — FM, tapes, and records. You can record selections via Honeybox and replay them on conventional stereo equipment also.
THREE DIMENSIONS IN SOUND!
Stereo without Honeybox produces sound from two distinct sources. Music from the speakers arrives at your ear, but most of it falls on the floor. The result is often "muddiness" and loss of presence. Only two dimensions result — volume level and stereo separation.
Stereo with Honeybox creates omnisonic imagery never before possible. Sound seems to come from the near and far. At times, it surrounds you, and appears to come from behind you and below you. The sound never has a chance to fall to the floor. It is so alive with movement that it envelopes you. Three dimensions— volume level, stereo separation, and omnisonic imagery" are apparent with Honeybox.
Condition
Excellent Condition; some minor cosmetic wear from regular use - no bad or notable damage. All features tested and working. This is a pre-owned item and there may be signs of use, so please view the photos carefully and consider them part of the description.
