Fisher CR 4029

Recent developments have revolutionized tape technology. And all the technology is the new Fisher CR 4029. some of the new cassette decks offer one or two of these technological innovations - Fisher offers them all in one integrated package.

Two Speed Operation

You can use the CR 4029 at the standard 1-7/8 ips speed and you'll have outstanding recordings, or switch to the new high-speed 3-3/4 ips and get an incredible 30 Hz - 20 kHz ±3 dB frequency response (using normal tape). What's more, recording at high speed drastically reduces wow and flutter and tape dropout. Since a C90 cassette will record a full album at 3-3/4 ips, high speed recording is still economical.

Metal Tape

Another of the mervelous innovations is metal tape. Metal tape demonstrably improves frequency response. Combine it with the new high speed and you'll get a hard-to-believe 30 Hz -25 kHz ±3 dB frequency response with virtual freedom from distortion.

Three VHT/Sendust Heads with Dual process Dolby

All this new technology requires new recording, playback and erase heads. So Fisher engineers came up with our new VHT heads to bring out the best potential of metall tape and high speed. Because the CR 4029 is a three-head design, each head can be optimized for a specific function. There's wide 4 µm gap VHT record hesd for the best possible Signal-to-Noise ratio. A narrow 1 µm gap VHT playback head improves frequency response. And a Sendust alloy erase head overcomes the problem of hard-to-erase metal tape.

The separate record and playback heads allow you to monitor as you record - an absolute must for serious recording. And Dual process Dolby gives you the advantage of Dolby noise reduction in both the record/playback and off-the-tape monitoring mode.

The CR 4029 has all the options.

Why have only part of the new tape technology when you can have all of it? Use metal tape at the standard speed for high performance with long play. Or use normal tape at high speed for both economy and superior performance. Or  chose the ultimate metal tape at high speed.

It's what you'd expect from the New Fisher

We invented High Fidelity over 40 years ago. We've never stopped moving ahead. The CR 4029  is a perfect example. Part of the new Fisher. Where the only thing about us that's old is our tradition of quality and craftsmanship.
