| | | |
− | == Remarks ==
| |
− | * With the recording monitoring function over headphones (rear band control) the recording is played back with Dolby S with the related Dolby B. The equipment has here 2 Dolby S chips less than the [[Pioneer CT-S 640 S]].
| |
− | Largely identical to the [[Pioneer CT-S 640 S]], which has 2 Dolby S chips more and cost 150 DM more. With this it also shares the manual from 1996.
| |
− | Pioneer used with the CT-S 550 S and 640 S / 630 S an ALPS drive, which was also used in some models of other manufacturers.
| |
| | | |
− | * Other models in the same series:
| + | == Bemerkungen == |
− | ** [[Pioneer CT-S 250]]
| + | Weitere Modelle der gleichen Serie: |
− | ** [[Pioneer CT-S 450 S]]
| |
− | ** [[Pioneer CT-S 640 S]] (built at the same time for another 2 years, almost identical in construction, same BDA),
| |
− | ** [[Pioneer CT-S 740 S]] (still built until 1998)
| |
| | | |
− | * Predecessor model: [[Pioneer CT-S 540 S]] (one engine less, few changes) | + | * Pioneer CT-S 250 |
− | * Successor model: none.
| + | * Pioneer CT-S 450 S |
| + | * Pioneer CT-S 640 S (noch 3 Nahre zeitgleich gebaut, fast baugleich, gleiche BDA), |

| |
− | * Stereo 8/96, very good, 2 stars. "Discoloration-free sound with considerable dynamics - perhaps a touch too harsh. The simple drive with servo flap parries surprisingly promptly, presciently and smoothly." (S.24)
| |
− | Audio 4/97, good, 70 points, 3 ears,
| |
− | Stereoplay 11/96: good, top class II, price-performance ratio good to very good. Stereoplay had changed its rating for all units twice. In 1997 the unit had 16 points, in 1998 the CT-S550 had 32 points. Stereoplay's verdict: "Top equipped Dolby S recorder with sophisticated calibration computer and natural, neutral reproduction".
