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's one-micron gap head is responsible for an amazingly important difference in tape recording. It's the difference between ordinary performance and the highest possible quality perfection.

Just what is a one-micron gap head? It's a head with a width of only one astounding micron. Until now two or four micron gap heads have been the standards for comparing tape recorders. However, Akai has pushed ahead and narrowed the head gap; thus narrowing the difference between tape recording results and actual sound.

The Akai perfected one-micron gap head has these distinctive advantages over heads with wider gaps:

Excellent frequency response even at low tape speed

Clesr, high pitched sound can be regenerated as a frequency tone and recorded smoothly with a minimum of distortion

 

8 -track Cartridge recording System

Model Capture Ratio-80D employs the 8-track stereo system. The tape has a total of 8 tracks, two of which are used at a time for stereo recording or playback. There are four choices of channels. At the end of the tape, the next channel is automatically positioned for recording or playback. Recording or playback time for one channel is 15 minutes (one continuous hour on 4 channels using a 300 ft. Tape). Desired channel can easily be selected by operating the Cartridge Program Selector Button.
