Philips Quad
Member
I have inherited a Tuner Amp, the Quad Philips 22RH720, a 4 track AKAI tape recorder and four very nice speaker cabinets all bought simultaneously by my parents in the 70s and all in perfect working order. They have not been used since. I tested the receiver fm radio with the speakers recently and they sound great.
I compose music on Sibelius Software, in case you are not familiar with Sibelius it is a Notation program for composing music on virtual instruments; it can export projects in as many separate tracks as you like. What I would like to do is to hear my compositions through the quadraphonic set.
I have considered exportinging the wav files from Sibelius to a Digital WorkStation, a DAW; I have Reaper, in Reaper reducing the many tracks to four tracks.
Here is where I need your advice.
I would like to connect a Tablet or Android cellphone with the 4 track file to the Philips 22RH720.
I understand I need either a software or hardware encoder to feed the signal to the Philips 22RH720 so that it will separate and reproduce the 4 tracks correctly one track to each speaker. I understand I also need to know what type of encoding my receiver amp requires.
I have searched the internet but encoders are absurdly expensive, I have not been able to find Quad encoding software. Furthermore not having any knowledge of electronics I am lost as to how to connect everything.
Please help. Thank you.
