A 16-page brochure for the SANSUI ælf series, a compact audio system that packs the full-size engineering heritage of the AU-α line into a reduced midi form factor. The catalogue covers two system tiers: ælf 9 led by the flagship A-α9 (copper-plated iron panel, Advanced Diamond circuit, relay-switched CD-Direct) and the smaller ælf 7. Connected components include the D-α7 cassette deck with CARS PRO auto-bias, the T-α7 tuner, the MD-α7 mini-disc recorder, and S-α9/S-α7 speakers with MDF baffles. Full system prices run from ¥168,000 for the ælf 7 BASIC to ¥333,000 for the ælf 7 with MD-α7 and cassette.
