A Message From the President 

 
Thank you for choosing the Magnum Dynalab 

MD 100 

FM Tuner. Great care has 

been dedicated to the design, manufacturing and selection of components for the 

MD 100 

FM Tuner. This complete process insures optimum listening enjoyment 

for many years.  
 
The RF ‘front- end’ of all Magnum Dynalab tuners is an exclusive in-house designed 
and manufactured component. We are the only audio company in the world that 
manufacturers their own front-end, for the sole reason that no other 
manufacturer can build one that meets our exacting specifications. The 
importance of a front-end to the tuner is the equivalent of a high performance 
laser mechanism to a CD transport. The front-end must gather the FM signal and 
isolate it from the extraneous aberrations inherent in the environment as well as 
the FM stations adjacent to it. Our rigid criteria for our tuners and their front-
ends insure that you get the most out of your FM reception with the highest 
degree of consistency available in the industry.  
 
To insure that all specifications on our tuners are met at ALL frequencies, we 
manually align our tuners front-end at three frequencies (92 MHz, 101.5 MHz 
and 106MHz). This process optimizes tuning performance across the entire FM 
band, so that you attain the same levels of quality regardless of where you are 
tuned. 
 
These procedures also ensure that the balance between SENSITIVITY, 
SELECTIVITY and MUSICALITY are maintained. Your tuner is now optimized to 
reject strong adjacent channel noise, provide more consistent levels of tuning 
performance across the FM band and to have a superior ability to isolate the 
station you wish to listen to from the extraneous interference of the surrounding 
FM signals. 
 
Once again MAGNUM DYNALAB thanks you for including our product in your 
audio system – we are sure that you will have years of listening pleasure from 
your 

MD 100

. If there is anything else we can do to help you enjoy your new 

tuner, please feel free to contact us on our toll free number, 1-800-551-4130 or

Respectfully yours,  
Larry Zurowski 
 
 
 
President
