Fisher Direct Drive
… the most technically advanced tape drive system
In the new Fisher
DD280 cassette deck, Fisher has replaced the conventional belt-drive system
with a high-torque 18-pole brushless, coreless, direct drive DC flywheel motor.
The motor shaft is the tape transport capstan itself. The result is a silent,
one-piece direct drive system that glides at a stable 360 rpm. Wow and Flutter:
are reduced to an incredibly low 0,04%. Gone forever are belt wear problems
resulting in speed change, belt breakage and replacement. For long term
reliability direct drive is the answer.
Feather touch
electronic solenoid controls.
Don't look for
"clunky" levers on the DD280. transport functions are actuated by
sensitive solenoid electronic switching. IC logic circuitry assures instant,
positive action. You can go directly from rewind to fast forward to play,
without having to manually stop between functions. LED indicators signal mode
of operation.
Metal tape
compatibility.
The DD280 is also
metal tape compatibile. The new metal particle tapes offer a marked improvement
in Signal-to-Noise ratio and dynamic range over previous tape formulation. With
its metal EQ and bias settings, plus high performance MX/Ferrite heads, the DD280
produces tapes of stunning accuracy. With metal tape, the DD280 delivers an
impressive frequency response of 30 Hz - 20 kHz.
Low in profile. And
high on features
The low-profile
DD280 has everything you'd expect in a professional-quality cassette deck.
Calibrated input level controls. Dolby Noise Reduction. Large scale dual-range
VU meters. Peak level LED indicators and more.
It's what you'd
expect from the new Fisher.
Fisher invented high
fidelity from many years, and never stopped moving ahead. The new DD280 is a
perfect example. Part of the new Fisher. Where the only thing about us that's
old is our dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
