AKAI CS-M01A

Commentary

This is a stereo cassette deck that is metal compatible with the basic performance.

We have developed and adopted a Sendust head with the maximum magnetic flux density that can be used with metal tapes.

An electronically controlled DC motor with strong torque (rotational force) is used for the drive part, and a proven long-life mechanism is used for the travel part.

Equipped with a direct function switch, it is not necessary to press the stop lever each time when switching operation.

It uses a symmetrical twin type VU meter, so you can check the balance of right and left at a glance.

If you press both the RWD lever and the PLAY lever at the same time, the tape will be rewound to the first part and then automatically regenerating condition.

Equipped with a 3-position tape selector.

Equipped with mono-microphone mechanism.

Equipped with Dolby NR system with MPX filter switch, hissing specific to tape can be effectively reduced.

Equipped with a timer standby mechanism, it is possible to record absence and play alarm clock by connecting a timer.
