Akai GXC-65D cassette deck

From Akai new sound in cassettes

Akai gives you the most perfect cassette recording in the world today.

That's a mighty big claim. But we can prove it. Our GXC-65D Stereo Cassette  Recorder is innovatively engineered with ADRS. This exclusive system eliminates almost all high frequency distortion above 8,000 Hz.

But we didn't stop there.

We combined ADRS with Dolby, and then added Akai's exclusive GX (Glass and Crystal ferrite) head.

The clear, undistorted signal is a pleasure to behold. And a greater pleasure to hear. What's more, the GXC-65 D is equipped with Akai's Invert-O-Matic - automatically reverses the cassette inside the recorder for continuous repeat/reverse. And the Invert-O-Matic mechanism is unconditionally guaranteed for two years - parts and labor.

So you can stop sitting around waiting for perfect cassette recording. Listen to the GXC-65D - your ears will make up your mind for you.

 

Illustrated below are the actual output curves of 13,000 Hz signal from a Dolby equipped cassette deck without ADRS, and a comparable curve from the new Akai GXC-65D.
