Technical data
Special Features
- Crossfield audio head system: in the Crossfield audio head system, the so-called bias magnetization of the tape is not performed by the recording/playback head - as is generally the case - but by a separate audio head (bias head) located opposite the aforementioned recording/playback head. This audio head arrangement allows signal modulation over the entire audio frequency spectrum without any interference from bias magnetization as is the case with other audio head systems.

- Echo
- Vertical and horizontal operation possible
