What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Akai GX-620 reel-to-reel

Stereo Tape Deck. Extended Recording/Playback Capability.
Have it either way, in mono for voices, or stereo for enjoying music at its best. Large 10-1/2" reel capacity permits maximum 12 hours recording/playback in mono  or 6 hours in stereo.

High-performance with GX Head
Akai's  GX head which symbolizes the company's lead in the industry, makes its appearance once again, in the GX-620. GX stands for glass and crystal and the head, in fact, is made of special low-noise crystal ferrite set in super hard glass. This durability, besides affording longer head life, also yields a better dynamic range and improved Signal-to-Noise ratio. Three separate heads - erase, reord and playback - enable off-the-tape monitoring. The contourless GX playback head reduces fluctuations in the playback level in the low frequency range and being focsed-field, the high-frequency characteristics are also improved.
Three-Motor, Direct Capstan Drive System
The GX-620 employs Akai's new C.P.G AC servo motor for the capstan drive. A Sample- and-Hold circuit is incorporated in the servo circuit which improves the response characteristics of the servo to maintain the speed accuracy and reduce vibrations emanting from the motor. A major result is that wow and flutter are reduced to a low 0,08% (DIN) 0,04% (WRMS).

Remote Control System
Operating the GX-620 becomes even easier if you use the RC-18 Remote Control Unit (with Cable) or RC-70 unit. Instead of a long cable which is easy to trip over, the RC-70 sends an invisible stream of infra-red rays to the deck to effect mode change. Connect the RC-18 to a timer and you can make unattended recording while you are out or set the timer for timed playback.
