| |
| − | *With the C3 also brought a/d/s - [[Braun]] [[Braun]] brought a tape deck onto the market in the early 80's that was capable of offering 2 tape speeds. Only a manageable number of top devices brought this function with them, which at the time of introduction achieved a significant quality gain in terms of treble driveability / external voltage spacing and frequency response. At that time, the C3 measured itself against top devices such as the Nakamichi Dragon, whose excellent acoustic values it at least came close to.

| − | Although the double tape speed technique was not pursued further in the late days of tape decks due to ever improving technology and ultimately excellent tape material, there were tangible benefits beyond the slight sonic improvement.
| |
| − | At twice the tape speed (9.5 cm/s), the magnetized area is also twice as large as at conventional speed (4.75 cm/s). This results in a significantly longer recording life as well as better treble stability. The problem of self-magnetization of wound tape material becomes much less noticeable. An advantage that should not be underestimated for high-quality archiving.
| |

| − | Of course, the halved playing time at 9.5 cm/s was problematic. So a C60 only managed 2x 15 minutes, while the C120 was not recommended due to its poor quality and low tape thickness.
