JVC KD-25 cassette tape deck

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.

Tape Illumination

The KD-25 is a near-duplicate of the KD-55, but is priced substantially less. But unlike other decks in the same price range the KD-25 features low wow and flutter. This JVC economy-priced deck with Dolby system is well worth the investment of a listen at your nearest dealer's showroom.

Easy to Use Facilities

Cassette mode buttons of the KD-25 are serrated and flat for easy, sure grip. Plus; The JVC 5-LED peak Indicator warns you of imminent saturation distortion; and VU meters are extra-large for high visibility.

Accurate Tape Transport

Tapes are unspotted by a precision-finished capstan (ground to a roundness of 0,1 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 and high s/s of the KD-25.
