They don't just reduce tape noise. They eliminate it. Technics cassette decks with Dolby B,C and dbx
This remarkable model M245X of Technics cassette decks represents an important technological advance in the fight against tape noise. Because unlike other decks that give you only one or the other, Technics now gives you; Dolby B noise reduction for compatibility with your present tape collection. Dolby C for compatibility with the new "C" encoded tapes. And dbx to eliminate virtually every decibel of audible tape noise. All in one deck.
-dbx is effective because it compresses a musical signal so its dynamic range is cut in half. When the tape is played back, the original dynamic range is restored, but the noise level is pushed below the level of audibility.
This allows loud passages to be recorded without distortion and soft ones without hiss.
These Technics cassette decks go on to give you computerized performance; microprocessor feather-touch controls. Music Select to automatically find any song on the tape. Music Repeat to replay a song up to 16 times. And a remaining time display to tell you how much recording is left on a tape.
In addition, there is automatic tape bias and EQ setting, expanded range (-40 dB to +18 dB) three-color FL meters to handle all the dynamic range dbx gives you, the accuracy and precision of two-motor drive and more.
