Kenwood's
KW-4066 is a durable 3-head, easy tape loading tape deck that performs
according to the highest audio principles. With all-silicon transistor
recording and playback pre-amplifiers, this unit can be easily panel-mounted to
become the center of your hi-fi system. The KW-4066 offers a choice of three
tape speeds, slide-type recording level control, tape monitor switch for
recording quality cheks and independent left, right recording buttons.
Special
Features
Specially
designed pre-amplifier minimizes distortion during recording and playback to
eliminate the "hiss" inherent in tapes at high frequencies, as well
as hum modulation at lower frequencies.
The KW-4066
incorporates a new, exclusive Kenwood tape transport system which features an
auto-stop mechanism built into the head housing. It simplifies tape handling considerably, and
the tape can be loaded easily by one hand.
Three tape
speeds are available; 7-1/2 ips and 3-3/4 ips for high fidelity recordings and
playback, 1-7/8 ips for speech.
A slide-type
level control similar to those used for mixing in broadcasting studio
equipments can vary and increase recording qualities.
Completely
separated Left, Right, recording capabilities enable mixed "Sound with
Sound" recordings. One channel can be used for recording while the other
is being used simultaneously for playback.
A Tape
Monitoring Switch permits fast, easy means to check sound immediately before
and after it is recorded during the recording process.
The natural
monaural sounds can be produced from 2-Track tapes by Mode Switch.
