Full Automatic Accubias with 5 Response Positions

Both the TA-2058 and TA-2048 Cassette Deck are equipped with Onkyo's unique Accubias system for fine tuning the recording bias to achieve the widest, flattest frequency response possible. On the TA-2058 , Accubias is completely automatic; the optimum amount of bias is applied for each tape type. There are aso 5 preset frequency rsponse positions so that the user can manually set the bias to obtain the desired sonic characteristics. Proper biasing is essential for high quality recording, and Onkyo has made great strides in bias accuray, automation and the elimination of guesswork.

4-Digit Real Time Tape Counter

A 4-digit LED displays the minutes and seconds elapsed since tape fransport was started or the time remaining. Instead of just a tape counter, the real time counter gives you the actual program time of the tape you're listening to. This means no more guesswork, for instance, about how much actual time is left on a cassette when recording. Locating a particular song or editing becomes much easier. There are a series of tape length selector buttons below the time display compatible with all standard cassette formats.
