Special Features

Recording Bias Adjustment System permits the most desiderable bias for high fidelity recording on the recorder for a specific tape by the incorporated test signal oscillator.

 The exclusive Full Track Erase head with triple safety mechanism for rewinding provides instant full track erase of a pre-recorded tape.

 Easy-to read large size dual illuminated VU meters on the front panel ensures accurate recording and playback levels.

 Separate Input and Output level Control for easy monitoring.

 The exclusive DIN connector permits easy dubbing.

 Easy loading by one hand.

Sophisticated special recording can be done by setting only Sound-on -Sound and Echo recording level control and switch on front panel.

 Auto-Stop mechanism built into the head housing and 4-digit tape counter.

 Low-noise Silicon Transistors are used in special record and playback pre-amplifiers for high signal-to-noise ratio and low distortion.

 A Tape  Monitor Switch enables a fast, easy means to check sound immediately before and after it is recorded during the recording process.

 Three tape speeds to suit your recording requirements - 71/2 ips and 33-/4 ips speeds for high fidelity recordings and 1-7/8 ips for speech recordings

Noise Filter enables one to eliminate undesirable hiss noise on pre-recorded tape.
