JVC KD-10 cassette deck

The KD-10 is priced even lower than other JVC decks, but still includes the following features; 5-LED Peak Indicator, a Timer Standby Facility, Automatic Input Selector, JVC's electronic governor motor and more. In line with other, more expensive decks, performance parameters - such as a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (56 dB from peak level, weighted) - guarantee long years of musical enjoyment. The KD-10 is a high value, high performance deck at a budget cost.

 

New Circuity

JVC's KD-10 includes an IC sized Dolby circuit to reduce annoying tape hiss. This IC form circuit is direct coupled, a highly precise configuration which makes for excellent transient characteristics. Likewise, the KD-10's microphone amp is of an advanced 2-stage direct-coupled design in low-noise IC form.  And to improve its Signal-to-Noise Ratio and dynamic range, the amp is separate from the line input. The result; high record amp linearity and only negligible distortion of even high-frequency signals.

 

Designed for Wide Dynamic Range Recording

Similar to more expensive JVC decks, the KD-10 has an Automatic Mic/Line Input to help lessen distortion and to expand dynamic range. Three-positioned Bias and Equalization switches allow the KD-10 to accept any type of tape on the market. And with the added assistance of JVC's 5-LED Peak Indicator and new and large VU meters (which even compensate for temperature changes) you can create true-to-life recording with a wide dynamic range

 

Convenience Features

A reed-type fully-automatic stop mechanism protects tapes and pinch roller from disfiguration. It also prevents the deterioration of wow and flutter with the passage of time. And speaking of time, the KD-10 includes a Timer Standby mechanism which lets you record unattended or awake to music. You can also make direct mode changes without going through Stop. The JVC Gear Oil-Damped Cassette Lid and more

 

Accurate Tape Transport

Tapes are unspooted by a precision-finished capstan (ground to a roundness of 01 µ), which is coupled to a large, dynamically balanced, 80 mm flywheel, driven by a precision ground belt. It contributes to the low wow/flutter.
