KENWOOD KX-1100G

Commentary

Stereo cassette deck adopting 3-head mechanism with combination head.

As a mechanism to achieve both 2-head running performance and 3-head electrical performance, we have adopted a 3-head high-rigidity mechanism using an amorphous combination head.
The combination head, carefully adjusted in azimuth, height, and tilt, allows for a simple travel system with only the combination head and erase head between the capstan and capstan, providing excellent tape-path performance.

Equipped with Super TLLE and excellent recording head has excellent recording head drive capability, it is compatible with 3 heads with low back electromotive voltage, and recording with excellent phase characteristics at low distortion rate is possible.

A closed-loop dual capstan system is adopted for the mechanism.
The head base is made of high rigidity die cast, and the chassis and head panel are made of thick high rigidity metal. In addition, a newly developed magnetic thrust absorber is mounted to prevent thrust play of the capstan.
This eliminates the waving and phase shift of the tape, and realizes stable tape travel.

Equipped with Rec Calibration.
If you set the CAL switch to the level position and set it to the recording mode, the 0.40 will stop flashing and the 400 Hz signal will be recorded.
While monitoring the level with the meter, turn the level volume. The adjustment is completed when the level meter reads from -2dB to 0 dB.

Bias calibration is installed.
When the SW is set to the BIAS position, the display changes to 10.00, and the 10 kHz signal is recorded after the sensitivity adjustment is completed.
The bias adjustment is completed when the BIAS CAL volume is turned and the display lights up from -2dB to 0 dB. The CAL is rewound to the starting position by turning the CAL off and the CAL stops.

New amorphous combination head with oxygen-free copper winding is adopted.

We have adopted our own New Dolby system.

It is equipped with a direct control system so that you can enjoy various kinds of tape play.

Equipped with a 4-digit digital linear tape counter that can tell the remaining amount of tape at a glance.

Equipped with timer-linked MPX filter convenient for air check, etc.

Gold-plated terminals are used for input / output terminals.

Equipped with a centralized FL display.

Equipped with L/R-independent preset volume, recording master volume, and headphone level volume.

Equipped with an auto tape selector.

Microphone input is provided.
