Commentary
This is a compact cassette deck with various mechanisms.
2-motor configuration and closed loop dual capstan system are adopted.
In this method, the tape is held more securely by two pairs of pinch rollers and a capstan. When the motor rotates, the tape tension in the loop is always kept constant by the difference between the peripheral speeds of the flywheels on the take-up side and on the supply side, and the tape surface and the head are brought into close contact with each other with a stable force. In addition, the two capstan and pinch rollers can almost completely the rotation unevenness and vibration of the reel table, thereby achieving stable tape travel.
In addition, the M-T01 uses a 2-motor type, and a PLL servo DC motor is installed in the constant speed motor to achieve excellent tape travel.
The operation of the mechanism is controlled electronically, and the feather-touch operation is adopted in the tape control section, enabling direct change from any operation mode to the next operation without pressing the stop button.
The head uses a newly developed magnetic Sendust head that combines the superior magnetic properties of permalloy with the ultra-long life of ferrite, enabling sound quality to be maintained as it is during initial adjustment for a long period of time.
It is equipped with ASPS (Automatic Spacing Pause System) which automatically creates a non-recording area at a fixed interval on the tape during recording.
If you press the ASPS button during recording, the ASPS lamp lights up and the tape continues to run while cutting the recording input signal. Approximately three seconds later, the deck automatically moves to a pause state, the ASPS lamp goes out, and the ASPS state changes to a PAUSE state.
Equipped with a peak meter.
Equipped with a 3-stage switching tape selector with independent bias and equalizer.
It is equipped with Memory Stop and Memory Start yesterday.
Equipped with an MPX filter that can be turned on / off.
When used with an external audio timer, absence recording is possible.
Microphone input and line input can be adjusted independently to enable microphone mixing.
It has a built-in Dolby circuit.
We have mono my Kujac on Lch.
