It is an industry secret that
Sherwood is the actual manufacturer of nearly one-third of the world's high
performance receivers. Many of the products we build are available with brand
names which may be better known than our own. But none are built with the same
sense of pride as those that bear our own name, nor are any better built or
better engineered than those that bear our Sherwood badge.
In our modern, surround sound driven
audio universe where home theater enthusiasts hear airplanes flying overhead and
bombs exploding around them, one might think that a mere Stereo is old fashioned.
But don't be mislead — humans have only two ears and stereo is still a
significant life form.
Our case in point: the new RX-4105. It's actually an update of our market
leading RX-4100/4103. rated at 100 watts, we've reduced distortion
significantly. It's now less than 0.20% from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and we've improved
the reliability with a new layout borrowed from our higher end models. The
RX-4105 has a good AM/FM tuner with the ability to pre-set up to 30 favorite
stations. It has inputs for 4 audio sources to accommodate your sound gear. And
the sound is phenomenal — as you'd expect from a company that dates its own
existence to before stereo's birth.
And the RX-4105 has at least one unexpected grace: the ability to independently

purists will be pleased to know that this relay-controlled switching puts the

About Sherwood Electronics
Sherwood Electronic Labs
was founded in Chicago in 1953 to manufacture an
amplifier designed by legendary audio engineer Ed Miller. Determined to design
high performance audio gear and to manufacture it themselves, Miller and his
partner John Snow created a company that has long set the standard for audio
excellence and efficient manufacturing.
Constantly Improving the Sound of
Sound
Throughout the
evolution of advanced audio electronics, Sherwood's contributions have been
invaluable. The world's first commercial FM stereo broadcast employed Sherwood
technology. Sherwood was the first to introduce digital readout tuners and
computer-controlled tuners. And, most significantly, the industry's first 100%
all-silicon solid-state audio receiver came from Sherwood.
