AKAI GX-R55

Commentary

A quick reverse deck equipped with a twin field super GX head.

The head section is equipped with a twin-field Super GX head with improved performance based on the Super GX head.

A high-precision accurate reverse head system is used to reduce the azimuth deviation of the reverse deck.
The reverse sound quality is enhanced by the BSP mechanism that matches the driving conditions in both forward and reverse directions, and the unique red dual-wide tape guide system.

Uses a microcomputer controlled exclusive cam motor drive to realize a quick and quiet mechanism.
An infrared tape sensor is used for quick reverse operation.

The amplifier section is equipped with a high-tune DC amplifier.

It is equipped with RPPS which can perform operations such as random music selection and intro play.

The random selection mechanism allows you to program the songs you want to listen to in the order you want to listen to them.
If you program up to 30 programs out of 29 songs on the A side and B side of the tape, the computer automatically controls and starts playing in the ordered sequence.
Repeat playback is also available with this function.

The Sequential Intro Play function plays the intro part of a song for 10 seconds and fast-forwards it to the beginning of the next song. Since this operation is repeated one after another, the contents of the tape can be checked efficiently in a short period of time.

Program Intro Play allows you to combine random songs and play them in the programmed order.

Equipped with a computer search mechanism, it can perform REC cancellation and IPLS.
With Blank Skip Play, you can quickly find and play the next song when there is a long interval between songs, and with Rec Cancel, you can return to the recording start position with one touch and enter the recording standby mode.
IPLS is used to start the next song.
