RS-275CU
Commentary

A cassette deck with a direct drive system and HPF head.

HPF (Hot Press Ferrite) head has been adopted for the head.
HPF is made by molding fine powder of manganese, zinc and ferrite at high temperature and high pressure. It is characterized by high permeability and excellent wear resistance. It also realizes excellent frequency characteristics with little loss in the high frequency range due to eddy current. In addition, HPF head realizes excellent gap accuracy by finishing with ultra-precision processing technology of 1 / 1000 mm unit.

A 2-motor direct drive system is adopted for the mechanism part.
The capstan uses a non-contact electronic commutator motor, which electronically controls the rotation of the capstan to achieve an ultra-low speed rotation of about 5 revolutions per second, while the reel uses a DC motor.

Equipped with an NFD switch that cuts the hissing between songs.

Equipped with a memory rewind mechanism.

Equipped with an auto release mechanism.
