Cross-Field Head

On conventional recorders the signal and bias are applied to the same recording head. Therefore the frequencies recorded, especially the high frequency component of the recorded signal tend to be attenuated or erased by the effect of the bias field.

On the exclusive Akai Cross0Field Head which was developed by Akai for practical use the signal and bias heads are mounted in opposition with their centres slightly off. As the recorded signal is entirely unaffected by the prevailing effect of the entire frequency spectrum with maximum fidelity.

 

Sensing Tape Continuous Reverse

Automatic reverse with metallic sensing tape is used for playback only. Reverse operation will occur when metalic sensing tape on prerecorded tape makes contact with the Sensing PIN. Put metallic sensing tape as the desired reverse point on shiny side of the prerecorded tape and another metallic sensing tape at the desired reverse point  on dull side of the prerecorded tape. So, the M-10 will give continuous playback in both directions between two points

Akai CR-80 SS cartridge tape recorder

8-Track, 4/2-Channel Cartridge Recording /Playback

Model CR-80 SS is equipped with a built-in 4-channel power amplifier and 4 Speaker Jacks for Instant 4-channel or 2-channel operation. This compact unit makes 4-channel stereo recording a "cinch" even where space is a factor. The same Akai robust mechanism for top rate performance and endurance. One Micron Gap Rec/Playback Head for amazing frequency response to 16,000 Hz

 

1-Micron Gap Head

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:

A - Excellent Frequency Response even at low tape speed

B - Clear, high pitched sound can be regenerated as a frequency tone and recorded smoothly with a minimum of distortion.

Motor

The motor of model CR-80 SS is a condenser starting two-speed induction motor. The winding characteristics of this 2-8 pole motor provides tape-speed stability and minimizes distortion

Akai GXC-710D cassette deck

The GXC 710D is another front-load model , and very sophisticated it is, too.

The Double Action" eject and tape loading safety feature is completely foolproof. When you press the Eject button, the cassette envelope moves out from the front panel just like a drawer. The upper part is carefully positioned for easy tape loading and levers at either side of the cassette holder make sure the cassette can't be inserted upside down. It's easy it's simple. And it's safe.

The combination once again of Akai's GX head plus Dolby Noise reduction plus Akai's ADR system plus a new drive system gives the highest of hi-fi performance. Tape speed is perfectly stabilised. Wow/flutter is as low as 0,08% rms. What's more, with the switchable Multiplex Filter circuit to cut out the 19 kHz pilot signal during stereo broadcast recording through an FM receiver, you get a clear and undistorted frequency response range to 17,000 Hz.

The rest of the features you can almost tale for granted. But let's just remind you of them to make sure you know exactly how much the GXC 710D has to offer you.. Memory Rewind Peak Level Indicator. Tape Selector Switches (low noise, CrO₂, ferrichrome) Direct Function Change Controls . Mic/Line Input Selector for improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio . Automatic Stop with tape release. Pause Control Line Output Level Control.

The GXC 710D is, as we said a very sophisticated machine- in its styling , in its features and in its outstanding performance.

Akai GXC-310D cassette deck

The GXC-310D takes great pride in its performance. For example, it has a closed loop double capstan drive system - a feature usually found only in very expensive cassette models. With this system, the recording/playback heads is positioned in the centre between two capstans and pinch rollers. This not only gives better head-to-tape contact but also maintains constant tape tension.

An integral part of this system is an anti-vibration hysteresis synchronous motor. The net result of this combination is outstanding tape travel stability, constant tape tension and speed, and an excellent wow/flutter specification of 0,07% RMS.

Like all Akai cassette machines, the GXC-310D features the Dolby NR system to reduce tape hiss to a virtually inaudible level, give a bigger frequency response and a better Signal-to-Noise Ratio. But it also features Akai's ADR (Automatic Distortion Reduction) system which varies the equalisation at high input levels to cut distortion and extend the dynamic range at high frequencies.

Its amny other features include a Peak Level indicator, Automatic Stop, Limiter switch, Mic/Line Input Selector for a wider dynamic margin and less noise, Pause Control, Output Level Control for perfect matching with any amplifier input, Tape Run indicator, Memory Rewind and Index Counter, direct function change controls and a bias and equalisation switch for low noise, CrO₂ or ferrichrome tape. Again, there's a specially designed perspex dust cover as an optional extra.

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.

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.

Invert-O-Matic

Akai engineers have investigated and developed ways of perfecting all of the weak points in cassette recording and playback. These improvements made from every angle have been concentrated in the most "up-to-date design" to bring you the World's First top rate performance Akai Cassette Invert-O-Matic Tape Deck

The Invert-O-Matic is an epoch-making automatic reversing system. By the mere pressing of a button, the cassette will reverse itself automatically inside the tape deck. This system will not only do away with the trouble of setting the cassette by hand in future, but the new tape movement mechanism is simplified and because of the stability mechanism and high performance, this new device produces amazingly true hi-fi sound.

By depressing the Auto Button during playback, continuous revers is actuated (at the end of the tape, the cassette will automatically invert and playback will continue for as long as is desired). When the Manual Revers Button is depressed, instant manual reverse is effected.

Akai is the World's First to succeed in developing automatic and manual reverse applicable during recording. With this new mechanism, a C--120 cassette tape will accommodate two hours of uninterrupted recording.

 

A Wonderful Combination

The CS-50D employs the very simplest and easiest loading method. Just insert cassette into slot provided. For removal of cassette, simply press the Cassette Eject Button

The CS-50D employs a 4-Track Stereo recording and Playback System.

For playback, and external power amplifier and a pair of hi-fi speakers are required Akai Models AA-6300 amplifier and SW-125 speakers, are highly recommended.
