We were
anxious to maintains the quality of our Sonab sound. It required a great deal
of research and effort to do this. The result
is here, the Sonab C500 HiFi cassette deck.
The new
Sonab C500 is constructed in such a way as to make it as simple as possible to
handle, to play and above all to record.
Recording as
you may know is the function that requires knowledge as well as facilities. To
help you as much as possible we have equipped the Sonab C500 with Dolby
B-System noise reduction. Tape selector for standard and chrome tapes, which
changes both bias, and equalisataion, quasipeak value recording level meters,
mixing facilities between left and right channels plus centre microphone,
memory rewind and built in amplifier for headphones, which enables you to
monitor the recording at a level acceptable to you.
