The wrong
cassette deck will play your tapes to death. Just a fractional misalignment of
all those pulleys, belts and wheels, and you wind up with tapes that are more
of a pain than a pleasure to listen to. That's why
we took such care with the tape transport in our new TC-520.
The only
directly power driven part, for instance, is the capstan. So there's less
chance your tapes will feel stretched.
We've made
sure that this crucial capstan is rounded to within 0,1 microns of perfection.
So everything turns the smoothest possible circle. There's double belt drive
for even more stable rotation.
While the DC
motor is designed to give high torque and low vibration. Very smooth.
Just as
smooth as all the other features.
Yamaha's
superhard permalloy head means clean sound with less wear. You have the choice
of low noise, chrome and ferrichrome positions. A bias adjust selector means
you can choose the perfecct setting for each individual tape. While two
illuminated VU's flash red for +8 dB, yellow for +3 dB.
Yamaha high
performance means you can always expect pur natural sound with low distortion.
So you'll never hear anything except what you want to hear on our new TC-520.
