The Teac
Model A-1200U Stereo tape Deck features a three-motor drive system providing
independent drive for the capstan and each reel turntable to assure prolonged
life of tape transport mechanism, minimum wow and flutter, constant and stable
tape travel, and easiest possible operation. Also, three Teac techno-built
precision heads, instant pff-the-tape monitoring, sound-on-sound and stereo
echo recording, choice of four-track operation, and other highlights are
combined to offer profesional quality with operating versatility.
Three-Motor
Drive System
Teac A-1200
contains three independent motors for driving capstan and each reel turntable.
A "Dual-Speed Hysteresis Synchronous Motor" provides capstan drive
with an effective starting torque and
enables electrical speed change. Capstan motor synchronization assures stable
and constant tape run without variations caused by AC voltage fluctuations or
other external causes. Electrical speed change found in comparable machines on
the market. Two original Teac "Outer-Rotor Motors" are used for reel
drive. An externally rotating housing produces a unique flywheel effect to
offer smooth and steady motor drive with minimum tape rewinding tension.
In addition,
employment of three motors adds years of life to tape transport mechanism,
assures the least wow and flutter and the easiest possible operation. Includes Remote Control System for start and
stop of main deck (optional accessory).
Three Teac
Techno-Built precision Heads
Teac is
known as a leading manufaacturer of instrumentation data recorders,
professional audio and video equipment, and even magnetic tape systems for
electronic computers. The same technology and manufacturing facilities are just
naturally used for all the tape heads manufactured by Teac. Thus, assured are the wide frequency range,
minimized crosstalk, improved signal-to-noise ratio, and distortion-free sound
reproduction with all Teac tape machines. Further, three heads operate
independently and enable you to enjoy
mike-line mixing and instant off-the -tape monitoring
Instant
Off-the-Tape Monitoring
Recorded
signal can be monitored instantaneously using "Monitor" Switch. As
the playback head is installed next to recoding head, recorded signal can be
played back and evaluated 0,15 second (at 7-1/2 ips) after recording, without
interruption of recording.
Built-in-Moke-Line
Mixer
Teack A-1200
has two separate input level controls for microphone and line, and enables you
to record signals from mike, mixing with signals from a tuner, turntable, or
other tape deck connected with its line input. Also, you can have extra
enjoyment with Sound-on-Sound and StereoEcho by simple pushbutton operation.
Choice of
4-Track or 2-Track
Instead of
standard 4-track 2-channel stereo operation, 2-track 2-channel stereo mode is
available as a special order for more critical audiophiles. Specify this to
your dealer when purchasing Teac A-1200
