A stereo cassette
tape deck with wide frequency response range, chrome tape selector and a range
of new,versatile professional features.
New tape technology
has led to outstanding improvements in the sound of cassette tape, and
Pioneer's new CT-3131 stereo cassette tape deck is designed to make the very
most of these improvements. With its extra wide frequency response range of 30
to 15,000 Hz with the new chromium dioxide tape, the CT-3131 compares more than
favorably with many reel-to-reel decks now available on the market. With its
new permalloy solid head and 1,5 µ narrow gap, it deliveres sound that will
start you thinking all over again about the reality of cassette tape for
professional sound quality. As one of Pioneer's most advanced cassette decks,
the CT-3131 is equipped with a variety of important features. It has, an
automatic-stop mechanism that functions in all modes, a running pilot light, a
stereo/mono changing switch and level memory marker, along with an improved
electronically controlled type DC motor. And its performance specifications are
nothing but first-rate. If you've ever had doubts about the use of cassette tape in your own stereo system, today's the day
you can stop doubling. And start listening to Pioneer
The CT-3131 is
designed for use with the new high performance chromium dioxide tapes, which
are especially made for high frequency response and dynamic stereo sound. The
unit is equiped with a chrome tape selector switch that ensures you'll get the
very most from these new and different kinds of tapes.
The tape head in the
CT-3131 is made of permalloy and exhibits 10 times the durability of the
conventional tape head. Along with the extra long-life you can expect from this
head, it also delivers extended frequency response, especially in the high
ranges, from its 1,5 µ narrow gap. With these tape head improvements, you can
expect sound reproduction from the CT-3131 which is the equal of many expensive
reel-to-reel tape decks, and even surpasses some.
