Commentary

Stereo tape deck with built-in solid state recording re-amplifier.

It uses Fidera's unique bell drive tape mechanism with less wow and flutter.

It is equipped with a push-pull recording oscillator with a bias frequency of 96 kHz and an all-transistor recording and playback pre-amplifier.

The playback curve is adjusted to the NARTB (50 μ s), and precoded tape is also supported.

The two recording buttons enable multiple recording, simultaneous recording, and recording / playback of 4-track monaural.

Designed to be used both horizontally and vertically.

Equipped with an auto shut-off mechanism that stops automatically when the tape is finished.

The exterior uses an oil-finished walnut case and an anodized hairline panel.
