The Kenwood KX-1060: 3-head cassette deck capable of accommodating all the latest advanced tapes.
For the fast-growing group of audiophiles who demand a cassette deck that is capable of capturing on tape the best that modern audio equipment can reproduce, here is the KX-1060, incorporating some of the most advanced cassette technology available today. Its three-head design ensures that both recording and playback of tapes of extended frequency response, low distortion, low noise, wide dynamic range and high saturation levels. The provision of separate record and playback heads also means that the recorded program can be monitored instantly as it is being recorded. Moreover, with the double Dolby noise reduction system, the recording being monitored is precisely what will be heard in actual playback. But tape recording enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate the ability of the KX-1060 to accommodate every kind of tape available-including the most recent and significant development, metal tape. With the variable, oscillator-adjusted bias control and separate equalization switch, any tape you choose will perform to the limits of its capability. But while these exciting features point to electronic excellence in the KX-1060, they are fully matched by the highly accurate, rugged and stable tape transport that utilizes the proven Kenwood two-belt drive system to maintain low wow-and-flutter of 0,045% WRMS. In this brochure you will find full details of the many performance and design features that make the KX-1060 one of the finest decks to be found today. But there is only one sure way we can prove to you that the KX-1060 can record and playback tapes with an outstanding musical quality.
The Kenwood Two Belt Transport
Although two motors might seem superior, Kenwood engineers have designed a rugged two-belt tape transport that uses a single motor producing only 0,045% WRMS Wow and Flutter. The highly stable, accurate two-belt-drive system uses a flat, wide belt to drive the precisely machined capstan while another belt drives the take-up reel. Thus no irregularity created in the build-up of tape on the take-up reel can affect the accuracy of the capstan drive. The diagram shows how this is done. In addition, the larger 210-gram flywheel produces inertial energy as high as 1094 g.cm, which is sufficient to absorb the minutest irregularities created in the rest of the transport.
VU meters with peak-level LED
Average recording levels are provided by large VU meters. Transient signal peaks are indicated by fast-reacting LED that operate above +6 VU. VU meters, peak LED and tape monitor provide optimum results.
Memory Index
Returns the tape to "000" after recording or playback. Shuts off automatically ready for further playback or re-recording, or repeats playback automatically.
Timer Stand-by
Set pause control in either record or playback mode. When the power is turned on by the timer, the deck will start operations. Record FM broadcasts on time, or when away. A timer such as the Kenwood AT-70 can also be put to use to play favorite waking-up music.
Input selector with ATT MIC position
Avoid excessive input levels when live recording with a high-sensitivity microphone. The ATT MIC position attenuates level by 12 dB. The mic amplifier is bypassed when not in use to gain higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio ratio/
