High
Capability Dolby / Metal Cassette Deck
The Luxman
K-117 cassette deck incorporates the most modern and desirable features of
contemporary cassette deck design. In keeping with the long-standing Luxman
reputation in tape deck technology, it affords the discriminating listener
accurate sound reproduction that's true to the music.
The K-117 is
fully compatible with metal particle tapes, and it has been thoroughly
engineered to make full use of their extended high frequency response and wider
dynamic range. It also accepts chromium and normal bias tapes and features
Dolby circuitry.
The K-117
also offers some unique features of its own.
A bias Fine
Control, operated from the front panel, lets you alter bias current within ±15%
from the nominal (average) bias point. In effect, it gives you the freedom to
subtly alter the frequency response for any given tape.
Instead of
VU meters, the K-117 utilizes a fluorescent peak level indicator for quick
response to the recorded signal. To help you handle the extended dynamic range
of metal tapes, the indicator has provisions for an additional 3 dB of level
which becomes up to +8 dB.
Tape
movement is activated by logic/solenoid feather-touch controls, for which an
optional remote control box is available. An auto-repeat function automatically
rewinds the tape at its end and repeats play.
Of course,
it's the sound of the Luxman K-117 that really counts. And that's how it
sounds. Like a Luxman. Free of audible distortion, full range, and accurate.
