About the EICO Cortina 3150 amplifier -- this was the higher powered brother of the 3070, offering at least 40 watts per channel of
continuous power at 8-ohms (3070 put out 15 watts per channel). The kit version was a steal at $ 149.95, while the wired version
sold for $ 225.00, very competitive against other wired amplifiers close to that price. This included Acoustic Research's classic
AR Amplifier ($ 250.00 - 50 watts per channel continuous at 8-ohms). Sadly, despite glowing reviews from two of the leading audio
and music magazines of the day (Audio, Stereo Review), the 3150 lasted far shorter in EICO's audio line-up than did the 3070.

driven, THD and IM typically below 0.1%); a Sansui TU-9500 Am/Stereo Fm tuner; a Dual 1229 turntable (the phono
pickup was not identified); the Bose 901 speaker system. Any other components, such as tape recorder decks and/or
players, TV set and Ham or Shortwave receivers, were not mentioned. Total system cost, in 1974 dollars, was $ 2,000.00 !!

Each device requires one 9-volt battery. Under the proper conditions, a D.C. power supply may provide power for both.

FM Microphone Option: Substitute an audio jack for the mic element, and then connect the mic mixer to the jack.

Mic Mixer Note: A battery may not be necessary - Just turn-on mixer's power switch, and (if need be)
turn up the individual input volume controls up slightly higher than normal.

Xtra, Xtra: The FM Mic's maximum **L E G A L** transmit power was 1/10th of a watt (0.1 watts).
