Quad 22 infof m 1...
Quad 22 FM The Quad 22 FM, or FM1, is an inherently simple unit, with only one control - the tuning dial. There is no wave band selection as the FM1 only receives FM signals, and it's only a mono receiver. This is because at the time of manufacture, broadcasters were unsure of the multiplex decoder technologies associated with FM stereo broadcasts - so Quad played safe for once...
The design complements that of the Control unit, and true to expectations, the whole perspex front dial, lights up. fm light-up dial

The FM1 has two tuning indicators as opposed tp the usual one - another Quad innovation. The unit is only properly in-tune when both indicators light at full strength. The dimmer light indicates which direction you need to turn the dial in order to gain a perfect signal. tuning indicators
