Commentary
Stereo cassette deck for metal tape.
The Senalloy head is used for the read / write head and erase head. The read / write head realizes improved frequency characteristics and stable phase characteristics, while the erase head ensures efficient erase capability.
Moreover, by adopting a high-precision head-mount structure comparable to an open-reel deck, excellent recording performance is secured.
Single capstan system is adopted for the mechanism part.
The capstan drive motor uses an FG servo motor with 38 pulses per rotation to obtain excellent tape running performance. In addition, the capstan motor and reel motor are firmly fixed with rubber vibration isolators. In addition, three magnetic shields are provided to ensure excellent S / N ratio both mechanically and electrically.
The amplifier section has a DC amplifier configuration.
In addition, the power supply voltage of the read / write amplifier is set high enough to ensure a wide dynamic range.
A full logic control circuit is used in the operation section to enable feather touch operation. In addition, direct switching from any mode to the next mode is possible. In the logic control circuit, the transmission mechanism for fast forward and rewind is greatly simplified, and transmission loss is reduced compared with the mechanical control.
In addition, consideration has been given to prevent click noise at the start and end of recording, and to prevent the head from being magnetized.
It has an autoplay function that allows you to play the tape repeatedly, and an autorewind function that automatically puts you into a rewind standby state when the end of the tape comes.
In addition, the counter memory function can be combined to repeatedly play from the middle of the tape to the end of the tape.
It is equipped with recording mute function and mixing function of line and microphone.
Equipped with a 3-switching function of bias and equalizer.
Equipped with timer recording and replay function, it is possible to record absence and play back alarm by combining with commercially available timers.
Equipped with a Dolby NR system as a noise reduction system.
Remote control unit AK-I (sold separately) allows remote operation.
The AK-I has the same layout of operation buttons as that of the main unit. In addition to normal operation, autoplay and autorewind are possible as operation functions. Although these functions are switchable, they can be combined for autorepeat operation.
The cord length of AK-I is 5m.
