Special Features

Crossfield audio head system: With the crossfield audio head system, the so-called bias magnetization of the audio tape is not - as is generally the case - performed by the recording/playback head, 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.
Magnetic brakes
Switchable equalization
Auto stop and auto power off
Vertical and horizontal operation possible
