Technics RS-M10

Commentary

A stereo cassette deck with a design that matches the SYSCON "Big GM100".

It has a built-in Dolby NR circuit as a noise reduction system, and it can cut the noise to about 1/3 in the middle and high band where noise such as hissing is conspicuous.

The read / write head uses an LH head that has approximately 10 times the hardness and life of the conventional permalloy head.
A high-efficiency double-gap ferrite head is used for erasing.

A unique vertical hold mechanism is adopted for the mechanism part.
Stable characteristics are obtained by capstan pursuing roundness and hardness, drive belt applying precision processing, cassette drive claw providing stable back tension, high-precision idler lever and pinch roller, etc.

Equipped with a soft eject mechanism that allows smooth removal of tapes.

Equipped with a full auto-stop mechanism that automatically stops the mechanism when the tape is finished.

Equipped with a tape selector corresponding to CrO2, Fe-Cr, and normal.

Equipped with a large level meter.

Equipped with a Line/Mic input changeover switch.

In combination with an audio timer (sold separately), you can record your absence, play ルイープ music, or play alarm music.
