Unsual
facilities.
The 3500X
has unsual facilities for record and playback. The Tape/Source buttons
determine whether record monitoring will be a source (programme0 test or a tape
test (A test or B test). The tape test is particularly useful because you can
listen to tape that has just been recorded while the recording continues.
Tape
recorder 3500X is suitable for every music installation.
A model in
geat demand in the middle price bracket with a good performance and many
attractive features. Suitable for all Hi-Fi music centers providing
record/playback in stereo or mono with excellent sound quality. The 3500X is
designed for connection to a good quality stereo amplifier such as the
Selvsuper, the Huldra or the TR 220.
The
recording quality determines the sound quality.
The playback
quality of a tape can never be better tahn the recording quality. A tape
recorded on a poor tape recorder can never be improved even when it is played
back on a god machine. Tandberg has always paid particular attention to this
point when designing tape recorders. The Tandberg Crossfield technique was
specially developed to raise the recording quality. The tape transport and the
tape path have been designed to allow the tape to pass smoothly and precisely
across the heads without undue strress and strain. The heads have been
developed and manufactured by Tandberg to exploit the best features of the
latest types of tape. Everything possible has been done to ensure that the
recording quality is excellent.
Even though
the 3500X is reasonably prieced it is fully equpped to play a central role in
any Hi =Fi music centre.
