Commentary
This is a stereo cassette deck that can record your absence by combining with a timer.
The motor is equipped with a servo motor with FG.
This motor uses a frequency generator (FG) that is directly connected to the motor shaft to control the number of revolutions using changes in the voltage generated by the FG. This allows the tape to run stably and strongly against load fluctuations.
The head is an F & F (ferrite & ferrite) head with an all-ferrite structure, in which ferrite is used not only in the core part but also in the guard part. In addition to the high precision of the head gap and high frequency characteristics, it has excellent wear resistance.
Equipped with a tape selector that can switch between 3 levels of bias and equalizer independently.
By using the timer sold separately, it is possible to record your absence and play the alarm clock.
Uses a smooth soft eject mechanism.
Uses an auto shut-off mechanism.
An optional audio handle is attached and rack-mountable.
