Yamaha TC-920B deck

TC-920B - matching the industry's finest separates in appearance as well as performance.

For unparalleled performance, the TC-920B starts with the heads. Yamaha's unique pure Plasma process results in Sendust heads of unparalleled purity, resulting in high permeability of the core for better sensitivity and playback efficiency, excellent Signal-to-Noise ratio, and greatly reduced tape/head wear.

The TC-920B has a vast array of audiophile features. Like the unique Focus switch. In the "Soft" position, you will attain a more relaxing, mellow quality to the overall listening effect. In the "Sharp" position, you get a more crisply punctuated high frequency sound quality. There's also a fine bias adjust control to match the deck's characteristics to those of the actual tape in use.

A switchable subsonic filter cuts out subsonic interference due to warped records, line hum , etc. , and also safeguards your speakers during playback without altering sound quality. The bar-graph peak level meters have a fast/slow switch to adjust the recovery time of the meters for maximum control over the material you are recording.

The 920B's sleek black cabinetry enhances the high-performance look of this studio quality deck. For maximum convenience an ingenious hinged panel conceals the less often used controls. Everything was done with striking esthetics and total performance in mind.

The TC-920B will bring the competition to its knees, and will bring you to your feet, cheering.
