Stereo Cassette Deck
This model is the best buy in JVC's line of high-performing hi-fi cassette decks. Its basic parameters are impressive: Frequency Response from 30 to 16,000 Hz with Chrome, wow/flutter of 0,15% (DIN 45 500) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio of better than 56 dB (ANRS off). If you're shopping for a medium-priced, high-performance deck, the KD-55 is a likely candidate for your stereo system.
Accurate Tape Transport
Like more expensive JVC cassette decks, the KD-55 employs a precision frequency generator (FG) servomotor to drive its capstan and reels in the advanced JVC drive configuration. The FG motor is renowned for its rotational accuracy independent of temperature changes, and simplified and advanced system has dramatically improved the stability and reliability of JVC cassette decks. Other KD-55 features to reduce wow and flutter include a large 80 mm -in-diameter dynamically balanced fly-wheel and a capstan shaft precision ground to a roundness of 0,1 µ.
Flattest Response from Any Tape
To solve the problem caused by improper bias and equalization, JVC has equipped the KD-55 with two 3-positioned tape switches - one for bias setting and the other for equalization. By properly adjusting these switches, you can get a natural and flat response from any type of tape, whether you prefer ferric, chrome or ferrochrome types. Another JVC feature included in the medium-priced KD-55 is a Recording Equalizer Switch which allows you to fine-adjust the high frequency response of your deck to compensate for variable tape sensitivities.
Easy One-Touch Recording Level Setting
You can set recording levels simply by pushing the Record button. On decks without this facility, you would have to push the Pause button and then the Record and Play buttons together
Features for Wider Dynamic Range
Super ANRS (Automatic Noise Reduction System) is a JVC exclusive that makes tape hiss virtually inaudible. And in addition to eliminating high-frequency noises during "silent" periods, the Super ANRS expands your deck's high-frequency dynamic range; high hats and tambourines, for example, won't sound cramped or distorted. Also, because the Super ANRS circuit is contained in an IC (Integrated Circuit), its long-term reliability is assured. Indeed, with the JVC combination of Super ANRS, a 5-LED Peak Indicator and large VU meters, you can produce undistorted, professional quality recordings instantly.
Unparalleled Ease of Operation
Three features dramatically enhance the ease of operation of the KD-55. one is the JVC-exclusive Gear/Oil-Damped Cassette Lid; it assures smooth, noise-less lid movement. The second is the unique Automatic Input Selector. With it selection priority is given first to Mic, then DIN and then Line inputs; you enjoy recording of a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Finally, the Output Volume Control lets you adjust the deck's output level with that of a tuner, etc.
