Luxman Stereo
Cassette Deck Laboratory Standard Series
A new generation
from Lux - Ultimate Fidelity Cassette Deck with provisions for Use of Metal
Particle Tape Featuring Realtime processed DC Amp.
Realtime Processed
DC Amp
Unlike most quality
cassette decks in the marketplace using conventional AC amps, our exclusive
"realtime processed" DC amps are employed in both recording and
playback circuits, which, in direct combunation with Sendust alloy head, makes
it possible to realize our acclaimed ultimate fidelity sound reproduction.
Precision Tape
Transport System with Sendust Alloy Heads.
The pure Sendust
record and playback head which is capable of handling even the latest metal
particle tape not only improves frequency response, phase and wear
characteristics, but ensures unequalled sonic excellence in combination with DC
amp circuitry. Also a specially engineered large erase head is provided for use
of metal particle tape.
The exclusive motor
for the real base which drives the take-up reel during "Play" time,
keeps the capstan motor immune from
torque vibration, thus preventing rotation irregularity and providing a
sufficient amount of back tension. At
the capstan, the servo motor controlled by FG frequency of 38 pulses per
rotation is driven by an exclusive IC. Electrical and mechanical noises are
perfectly removed by means of antivibration rubber and a 3-fold magnetic shield
structure.
Electronic Digital
Tape Counter
Electronic digital
display is made by a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. Lux's exclusive cassette hub makes
it possible to read exact time used for recording or playback in terms of
minutes and seconds.
Plasma level Meter
The eye-catching
plasma display featuring fluorescent green tubes, unlike conventional
mechanical VU meter, ensures instantaneous response to the recording signals,
enabling the user to set up an appropriate
recording level. The peak level can be retained within the range of -4dB
~ +6dB. (+10dB at high MOL for metal tape).
Full IC Logic
Transport Control
Unlike mechanical
mode control, smooth feather-touch operation is ensured by means of a full IC
logic circuit. For easy and convenient operation, the result of human
engineering is fully taken into account as to placement of he control buttons.
