Nakamichi BX-100 cassette deck

2-Head Cassette Deck

Uncompromising performance with sure, simple operation. No other deck can offer so much quality with so much affordability

The BX-100 offers greater affordability, with absolutely no compromise on reproduction performance. The heart of the BX-100 - the transport, heads, and electronics - are identical to that of the BX-125, offering the same performance excellence. The Dual-Speed Master Fader control and Auto Repeat function are found here as well, along with Dolby B noise Reduction. A mechanical tape counter and elimination of the output level control are the only other differences found in features.
